HARTFORD, Conn. A wide-ranging bill that declares racism a public health crisis has cleared the Connecticut Senate with bipartisan support.
During Tuesday s debate, proponents contend the problem was exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic and needs to finally be addressed given the long-standing health care disparities in Connecticut.

It now awaits action in the House of Representatives. Under the bill, a commission will document the impact of racism on public health and come up with a strategic plan to eliminate health disparities and inequities.
