Session Highlights

April 20, 2022

It's imperative that we ensure our children are not only having fun but staying safe when participating in youth sports leagues. The House passed HB #5240 to establish a task force to study safety protocols and make any recommendations to keep our children safe.

No family should have to face the difficult decision between affording bills or paying for the out-of-pocket charges on critically needed medication. Through passage of HB #5386, the House moved to cap out-of-pocket costs for EpiPens so that families aren't financially strained in accessing these life-saving devices.

The House passed HB #5146 to make it easier for supermarkets to provide surplus food to those in need – so that we may not only have plans in place that reduce food waste, but we find solutions that support the members of our communities.

Our state is home to several arts and culture institutions which help to enrich the lives of residents, create jobs in their communities, and help to boost tourism in our state. With the passage of HB #5267, the House acted to ensure that CT's arts and culture sector is included in state-wide marketing plans so that we may further promote the great parts of our state.
