From 24-hour-long zoom public hearings to a Capitol closed to the public, 2021’s legislative session was like no other.

This hour, we recap what happened in the Connecticut General Assembly, and find out what legislation passed and what didn’t.

And later, one of the bills that made it through expands HUSKY health care coverage to some undocumented children. We talk with advocates about what this means.
