June 22, 2020 The Honorable Joe Aresimowicz Speaker of the House of Representatives The Honorable Matt Ritter House Majority Leader The Honorable Themis Klarides House Minority Leader The Honorable Martin Looney Senate President Pro Tempore The Honorable Bob Duff Senate Majority Leader The Honorable Len Fasano Senate Minority Leader Connecticut General Assembly Legislative Office Building 210 Capitol Avenue Hartford, CT 06106 Sent via Email Dear Speaker Aresimowicz, Majority Leader Ritter, Minority Leader Klarides, Senate President Looney, Majority Leader Duff and Minority Leader Fasano: As the state’s mental health care provider community, we are writing to request that you pass legislation to codify the tele-health provisions implemented in the Governor’s Executive Orders for behavioral health care in the wake of the public health crisis with the emergence of the COVID-19 virus. The virus and the declaration of the public health emergency by Governor Lamont has greatly altered the state’s mental health care system. As you consider policies to implement in statute when you convene a special session, we ask that you codify the use of tele-health for behavioral health in the public and private insurance markets included in the Governor’s Executive Orders 7G, 7F, 7DD. We request payment parity for tele-health visits at the same rate if the services were delivered in-person. We also request that you specifically include the telephonic-only provision within covered behavioral health tele-health services. Tele-health has become a very important tool for mental health providers during the declared public health emergency. It has been used to continue to provide access to care for patients and engage new patients who have not received care in the past, many of which are new enrollees to the Medicaid program.

February 22, 2021 RE: TESTIMONY in SUPPORT of HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION 58-- a RESOLUTION PROPOSING a STATE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT to ALLOW NO-EXCUSE ABSENTEE VOTING
February 22, 2021 RE: TESTIMONY IN SUPPORT OF HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION 58-- A RESOLUTION PROPOSING A STATE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO ALLOW NO-EXCUSE ABSENTEE VOTING Senator Flexer, Representative Fox, Senator Sampson, Representative Mastrofrancesco and distinguished members of the Government Administration & Elections Committee: We are here to testify in support of caucus priority House Joint Resolution 58—A RESOLUTION PROPOSING A STATE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO ALLOW NO-EXCUSE ABSENTEE VOTING because although all eligible voters in Connecticut have the right to vote in-person on Election Day, not all may have the ability to do so. It is incumbent upon us to provide flexible, accessible and convenient voting options to all residents of our state. Connecticut is one of only sixteen states where no-excuse absentee voting is not available. Here, a state-approved excuse is required to request an absentee ballot. The remaining two-thirds of the states allow any qualified voter to vote absentee without offering an excuse, allowing millions of Americans to cast their vote at their convenience by absentee ballot. Offering no-excuse absentee ballots will not only result in increased voter access and participation but can also result in increased voter satisfaction and financial savings. In states where no-excuse absentee ballots are permitted, voters have expressed more enthusiasm about the electoral process and have appreciated being able to study the issues and review the ballots at home. Jurisdictions with no- excuse absentee ballots have also seen financial savings in the need to reduce staffing at polling locations. Of greatest significance, however, is that permitting no-excuse absentee ballots would permit more residents to vote in the manner most convenient to them.
