Dear Neighbor,
Happy Friday! In this week's eblast, you can read about Connecticut's extreme heat protocol, a program making Planet Fitness free for high schoolers, and more. You can click on the links below to navigate between sections.
 
Connecticut's Extreme Heat Protocol
With temperatures soaring, Connecticut's emergency hot weather protocol is now in effect through Sunday. 🌡️

Please stay hydrated, seek shade or air-conditioned spaces, and check on vulnerable neighbors and loved ones. Let's stay safe and cool together! Read below for some critical information about what it means for Connecticut to put the extreme heat protocol into effect.
 
Cleanup Event in Groton!
I hope you'll join me and Rep. Aundré Bumgardner next Saturday, June 29 from 9-11am for a town cleanup on Buddington Road!

We've partnered with Connecticut Clean Communities and Boots on the Sound for this great event, and I hope you'll join us to improve our community together! Please arrive at the intersection of Drozdyk Dr. and Buddington Rd. at 8:30am. Tools and supplies will be provided!
 
PRIDE Highlight
A monumental moment in our state’s history! 🏳️‍

October 10, 2008 - The Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples are entitled to full marriage equality under the Connecticut Constitution.

November 12, 2008 - Connecticut issued its first marriage licenses for same-sex couples.
 
Planet Fitness Summer Pass for Teens
Planet Fitness recently began their High School Summer Pass program, which invites high schoolers aged 14-19 to work out at any Planet Fitness location for free until August 31! You can register for this amazing program here.

This program prioritizes teen's mental and physical health while school is on pause, and I highly encourage all teens in our district to take advantage of this opportunity! You can search for Planet Fitness locations in the area here.
 
Move Over Law

Spread the word and save lives!

Connecticut's Move Over law (Sec. 14-283b) requires all drivers on a highway of two lanes or more in one direction to slow down to a reasonable level below the speed limit and, if safe to do so, move over one lane not only for emergency responders and tow drivers, but for any vehicle along the side of the road. If a driver is unable to move over a lane, they are required to slow down and proceed with caution.
 
If you have any additional questions, comments, or concerns, I can be reached by phone at 1-800-842-8267 or by email at Christine.Conley@cga.ct.gov. For legislative updates, please like my Official Facebook Page.

Sincerely,

Christine Conley
