On Monday, March 9th, we are expecting three of our legislative priorities—including legislation around protections for data privacy, accountability for federal officials at a state-level, and protected areas around the state—to be heard by legislators in the Judiciary Committee.

The hearing will start at 10:00 am ET in Room 2C in the Legislative Office Building (LOB) in Hartford, CT.
We are asking supporters to submit testimony or testify at Monday’s upcoming Judiciary legislative hearings on the following bills.

• HB 5449 – An Act Concerning Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) Systems
  • Establishes rules governing how ALPR surveillance systems can be used, how long data can be stored, and how misuse can be prevented.
• SB 397 – An Act Concerning Democracy and Government Accountability
  • Protects people’s ability to hold government officials accountable when constitutional rights are violated.
• SB 91 – An Act Enhancing The Investigative Authority Of The Inspector General And Establishing Protected Areas
  • Ensures immigration enforcement cannot occur in sensitive locations such as schools, hospitals, and places of worship.

Your testimony helps demonstrate to legislators that Connecticut residents care deeply about privacy, civil liberties, and government accountability.
