CHAIRMEN: Senator Colapietro Representative Shapiro VICE CHAIRMEN: Senator Maynard MEMBERS PRESENT: SENATORS: Gomes, Kissel, Witkos REPRESENTATIVES: Altobello, Bacchiochi, Mazurek, Nafis, Nicastro, Reed, Robles, Tong SENATOR COLAPIETRO: -- we'll be able to go home. I'm calling the meeting to order and I would ask Kirsten, our clerk, to read the -- the rules of standing out of the doorway so that our people can get out in case of fire. Kirsten. THE CLERK: In the interest of safety, I would ask you to note the location of and access to the exits in this hearing room. The two doors through which you entered the room are the emergency exits and are marked with exit signs. In an emergency, the door behind the Legislators can also be used. In the event of an emergency, please walk quickly to the nearest exit. After exiting the room, go to your left and exit the building by the main entrance or follow the exit signs to one of the other exits. Please quickly exit the building and follow any instructions from the Capitol police. Do not delay and do not return unless, and until you are advised that it is safe to do so. In the event of a lockdown announcement, please remain in the hearing room and stay 2 • February 13, 2009 bc\gbr GENERAL LAW COMMITTEE 10:00 A.M. away from the exit doors until an all clear announcement is heard. SENATOR COLAPIETRO: Thank you. I just want you to know that there's not everybody here because of a few reasons. Some have already got meetings, some have gotten -- they're afraid of Friday the 13th and some people just plain couldn't make it here today for one reason or other, so don't take it personal. We just ' want to get the meeting here, and I'm sure that the committee members that are here will be anxious to hear what your testimony is. A VOICE: (Inaudible.) SENATOR COLAPIETRO: Yeah, go ahead. A VOICE: And just prior to beginning the public hearing, I wanted to mention for the Democratic members of the committee, we have our next committee meeting on Tuesday at 1:00 and prior thereto, at 12:30 we'll have a Democratic caucus. It's the first time we're going to vote on some bills, hopefully, and just to set the tenor for the rest of the session, so 12:30 on Tuesday in the Caucus Room prior to the meeting. Actually, do we have it prior to the meeting? A VOICE: (Inaudible.) A VOICE: You know what, actually, let's do it in the Public Safety Committee Room next to General Law. SENATOR COLAPIETRO: Okay. And with that, we would like to start testimony. We will begin with department heads and Legislators, which is actually a short list, so members of the public will be testifying soon, and we'd like 3 • February 13, 2009 bc\gbr GENERAL LAW COMMITTEE 10:00 A.M. to start with Commissioner Farrell, if you please, followed by Representative Sawyer. JERRY FARRELL: Good morning, Representative Shapiro, Senator Colapietro, the members of the General Law Committee. It's good to be back in front of General Law, this legislative session. You have my written testimony on a number of bills that are being advanced by the department, namely Senate Bill 778. which deals with the work comp statute; 779, which deals with wood burning fireplaces, furnaces; 780, which deals with the Charitable Funds Act, and 6301 that deals with e-Pharmacy. Now I think most of these topics that members of the General Law Committee are quite familiar with. The one that is a little different for you, and maybe if I can explain and spend a couple minutes clarifying why it's before you, would be the amendments to the work comp statute contained in 778. As you know, Department of Consumer Protection does a ton of occupational licensing. There is, I believe, 180 different categories of licenses that we give out. Now one of the requirements that's presently in statute is that we collect a certificate, a physical certificate, of Workmens' Compensation Insurance for those getting a license from the department. For many years the department has not necessarily enforced this statute that, as you can imagine, with 221,000 licensees, there was a time for a couple months, I believe back in the early nineties, where the department attempted to do this and it became overwhelming, so at some point it was just set to the side.

Dubois, President Connecticut Bar Association 30 Bank St., PO Box 350 New Britain, CT 06050-0350 Re: The Connecticut Bar Association's Proposal To Join In A Brief Anticipated To Be Filed By The Brady Center To Prevent Gun Violence Or, Alternatively, To "Take A Position" In Shew v. Malloy Dear Mr. Dubois: The Connecticut Bar Association's Human Rights and Responsibility Section proposes that the CBA join as an amicus curiae in a brief to be filed by "advocates interested in preventing gun violence, led by the Brady Center [to Prevent Gun Violence]" in the Shew v. Malloy case pending before the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.1 The first tenet of constructing a fallacious argument is the creation of a fictitious controversy. In this case, as in the majority of gun cases, the fictitious controversy created is between individuals who support the prevention of gun violence and those who do not. 2 Whether the lawyers and judge in the CBA's Human Rights and Responsibility Section believe it or are exploiting it for public consumption, the adoption of this characterization should embarrass every CBA member capable of considering issues on their merit, logically, without reduction to ten-second sound bites condescendingly intended for a susceptible audience.
