Good morning, Hartford.

On March 11, the Labor and Public Employees Committee advanced a package of labor reforms that includes a bill to extend paid leave to non-certified school workers and a proposal to form a task force to review workers’ compensation—recommendations for which are due by January 1—and additional measures on retirement and workplace safety. This move sets the stage for further debate on updating policies that affect Connecticut workers.

State lawmakers met with DCF this past weekend in Waterbury to ask why records of a case in which a woman is accused of keeping her 32-year-old stepson locked in a room for over 20 years were destroyed after five years, and they plan to review the law—Representative Polletta said the victim may need hospital care for at least a year.

Connecticut health officials warned that more than two dozen elementary schools have low vaccination rates that could lead to measles outbreaks, even though no cases have been confirmed here so far.

They urged residents to verify their vaccination records as measles cases surge nationwide — with 378 confirmed cases and one death reported.
