A bipartisan House bill to expand resources and support services for residents with intellectual or developmental disabilities won unanimous passage Tuesday in the Senate. It now heads to the governor’s desk for final signature.
“This population has been left behind for many years of budget cuts and lack of real investment,” said Rep. Lucy Dathan, D‑New Canaan, during the House debate last week. “While we’ve expanded services in the last budget cycle, there’s still more work to do.”
