HARTFORD, Conn. — State lawmakers have begun combing through the dozens of executive orders signed by Gov. Ned Lamont over the past year during the pandemic to determine which should be extended or enacted in state law.
Democratic House Speaker Matt Ritter said Tuesday that leaders of the House and Senate plan to meet Thursday with the Democratic governor's administration to discuss how to proceed.
His emergency powers expire on April 20. Republican leaders said they haven't been invited to the meeting.
Meanwhile, the House passed legislation giving the General Assembly oversight over how $2.6 billion in federal COVID relief funds are spent.
