State Rep. Tim Ackert Announces Public Hearings for Tuesday February 7th

Good afternoon friends,

Your input is important to me as your State Representative. During this part of the legislative session there are many public hearings regarding proposed bills.

I encourage you to check http://www.cga.ct.gov/ and click on the “Bulletin” to track what items you might be interested in. If you do decide to write a letter in support of or opposition to a proposed bill, please copy me so I can be aware of your opinions.

Here are some of my bills scheduled for public hearings tomorrow that may be of interest to you and our community.

HB- 6099 An Act Concerning The Operation Of Group Homes Maintained By The Department Of Children And Families

HB-5317 An Act Requiring Elderly Housing To Have An Automated, Handicapped-Accessible Door to Common Facilities and Community Rooms

HB-6435 An Act Prohibiting Health Insurers And Other Entities From Charging Disabled Veterans For Certain Out-Of-Pocket Expenses

The full public hearing agendas are hyperlinked to each bill proposal. For the rules in submitting written testimony please click this link. Each committee has different rules and deadlines.

If you plan to testify make sure your remarks are clear and concise. Written testimony should be turned in before the hearing begins. It will then become part of the permanent legislative record.
