Teenage Tanning Ban, Mattress Recycling Program and Armed School Security

This Week on CT-N Capitol Report: Week in Review

                                                                                                                                            

Hartford, CT – Starting at 7 p.m. this Friday, Connecticut Network viewers will hear what’s been taking place at the State Capitol on this episode of Capitol Report: Week in Review. State legislators met for multiple-day sessions and debated numerous bills. The Senate’s discussions included: a mixed-material beverage container bill that would permit malt liquor beverages and beer to be packaged in a pouch, a bill that would ban teenagers from using tanning beds, a bill that would strengthen the state’s traffic stop data collection laws and a bill that would create a statewide mattress recycling program, the first in the nation. The House of Representatives debated a bill that would allow provisional ballots to be used in all elections, in an effort to make voting more convenient.

 

Capitol Report this week will also have highlights on bills referred to legislative committees including training for armed school security guards and the “Wal-Mart© Bill” which is based on big companies encouraging employees to use state insurance instead of the insurance offered by the employer. In addition, viewers will get the latest on brownfield clean-up efforts in the state as Governor Malloy held a news briefing this week to announce more funding for the project.
