HARTFORD, Conn — Connecticut lawmakers have scheduled a “virtual listening session” on Friday so the public can learn more about a new police accountability bill.
Watch the General Assembly’s Judiciary Committee’s session below:
The wide-ranging bipartisan legislation, proposed in the wake of various police-involved deaths across the U.S., is expected to be taken up for a vote in a special session later this month.
Speaker order will be randomized and available at this link; chosen speakers will have three minutes to speak.
To submit written testimony, members of the public are asked to send emails to JUDtestimony@cga.ct.gov. If submitting testimony, they are asked to include their name and town in that email.
A traditional, in-person public hearing is not being held because of the coronavirus pandemic.
