Final passage in Senate of labor, early voting measures
A voter casts an absentee ballot in a drop box in West Hartford last year.
The Senate voted Thursday night for final passage of a bill intended to curb pay disparities and a referendum question asking voters if the Connecticut Constitution should be amended to allow in-person early voting.
House Bill 6380 requires the disclosure of pay ranges to employees and applicants for those positions, an intended corrective to pay inequities that disadvantage women.
The sponsor, Sen. Julie Kushner, D-Danbury, said it helps to level the playing field. Rep. Rob Sampson, R-Wolcott, called it an unwarranted intrusion into employer-employee relations.

It turns out there is more than one way to make absentee voting more accessible in Connecticut.
While we would prefer a state constitutional change that would allow no-excuse absentee voting meaning a citizen can use that option without having to explain why we welcome a bill approved in the House of Representatives that at least expands the absentee opportunities.
The Connecticut Constitution allows absentee ballot voting due to “absence from the city or town of which they are inhabitants or because of sickness, or physical disability.”
The General Assembly is empowered to enact voting rules as long as they fall within those constitutional parameters. Recall that in the 2020 election, the legislature expanded the “sickness” provision to include fear of sickness due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The rule change was for that election only.
Connecticut judge rules against parents in lawsuit over school mask mandate Amanda Blanco, Hartford Courant
A Connecticut judge has ruled against parents who filed a lawsuit filed against the state over a requirement students wear masks in school as a safety measure during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The lawsuit was filed by the CT Freedom Alliance in August, after the former state education commissioner, U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona, ordered a school mask mandate in Connecticut to limit disease spread.
In a decision filed Monday, Superior Court Judge Thomas Moukawsher said the state constitution “requires nothing more of this court than to grant the defendants a full and final summary judgement not merely because the lawsuit is moot but because the actions of the executive have been ratified as correct by both of the other co-equal branches of government.”
