The fact that a public hearing has been scheduled on these bills is not necessarily an indication that the Committee will pass these bills, but it is at least an indication that such bills are under serious consideration. Should these bills advance toward a vote by the Committee, we will provide more detail as to their contents.
As we indicated previously, the 2015 session of the Connecticut General Assembly is scheduled to adjourn on June 3, 2015. The deadline for the Education Committee to approve and “forward” bills out of Committee is March 30, 2015. Bills affecting education issues may also emerge from other committees, and bills effecting labor and employment issues that may emerge from the Labor and Public Employees Committee are being tracked on our sister blog, “Working Together.” Stay tuned.
