Under the program, Connecticut children 18 years of age and under – plus one accompanying adult – can receive free admission to any of the participating museums, including historic house museums, historic sites, historical societies, art museums, children’s museums, science centers, special-interest museums, natural history museums, university museums, arboretums/botanical gardens, and zoos.

The first two decisions will open the door to discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation and strikes at the freedom of Americans. The third will unnecessarily burden so many young people with debt, in turn delivering severe economic consequences to our state and nation and putting us at an economic disadvantage to our foreign competitors. 

The Greenwich House Delegation worked tirelessly and proactively to make this funding a reality.

The Greenwich Delegation is shocked and saddened by the display of hate, one day after the town's Pride celebration.

The CT House passed more great bills this week. Here are some that I am particularly excited about.
 
Expanding Protections for Seniors. HB 6775 increases the number of mandated reporters for suspected abuse, neglect, exploitation or when a senior needs protective services.

Protecting health care providers. HB 6820 protects Connecticut providers performing safe and legal reproductive healthcare services to those who need it because healthcare providers shouldn’t face out-of-state repercussions for doing what’s legal in Connecticut.
 
Preventing Wrong-Way Driving. Wrong-way driving crashes in Connecticut tripled in 2022, and studies have shown that wrong-way driving crashes are 100 times more likely to be fatal than other types of crashes. We passed HB 6746, which requires the CT DOT to expand efforts to implement wrong-way driving countermeasures and to include instruction on reducing wrong-way driving in drivers’ education programs.
 
Addressing life-threatening food allergies. HB 5902 establishes standards for restaurants to ensure that staff are aware of customer allergies. The bill also requires informational posters to be displayed in restaurants to improve safety and awareness of allergies.

The House is in full swing! This week, we voted on more important bills. There are a few I’d like to highlight this week.
