Things are really heating up here at Capitol.  The CoA is very busy providing nonpartisan research and information to policymakers during the legislative session.

Throughout the legislative session, CoA tracks hundreds of aging and disability related bills of interest.  See our publications for our weekly bill tracking report.   CoA testifies before many committees throughout the session, see our testimony here. 

Approximately 150 people from all corners of Connecticut, including community leaders, legislators, providers and the public attended the CoA's "Livable Communities for All Ages" forum on Jan. 14th in the LOB.

 Thanks to everyone who attended and to the terrific speakers and panelists who participated!  We are very pleased to join new partners, policymakers and providers to spark the conversation and action on this important issue.  Please see here for materials from the forum, including presentations, best practices and more!  You can watch the CT-N coverage here.

CoA submitted the Aging in Place Task Force Final Report (SA 12-6) to CGA's Aging Committee on December 28th.

CoA Executive Director, Julie Evans Starr served as a member of the Task Force and Deb Migneault served as its administrative staff. CoA looks forward to working with the Aging Committee this session to move some of the recommendations of the task force forward into law. The report is available here.
