New technology installed at State Capitol for Special Session

The Connecticut General Assembly abruptly ended their regular session in March due to COVID-19.  State lawmakers are up for election in November, but Kent Representative Maria Horn says they are discussing possible special session in September to address the urgent needs of the pandemic.  It could also cover a small number of bills that had hearings, are completely drafted, have wide support and are straight forward.

New technology is being installed at the Connecticut state Capitol building.  Horn says members will be able to vote remotely, from their offices, rather than in the chamber during the upcoming special session. 

While a date hasn't been set, she expects the session to be held some time during the week of July 20th.  Horn says only those speaking will be in the chamber, and in one at a time.  These changes are all due to social distancing and gathering guidelines.
