Higher Education committee advances multiple campus-focused bills, schedules hearings
Summary
The House Higher Education Employment Advancement Committee in Hartford voted to raise or draft several higher-education measures — from campus safety and student-fee reforms to emergency-contraception vending machines — and held several roll-call votes open to allow additional members to participate.
The Higher Education Employment Advancement Committee, chaired by Representative Greg Haddad, met in Hartford to consider a slate of higher-education proposals and to set several for drafting and public hearings.
The committee placed three early concepts — a nursing student loan-reimbursement-for-volunteers proposal, programs for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and modifications to Alliance District and high-priority loan subsidy programs — onto a short consent calendar and approved them by voice vote. "This is a regular meeting ... and I'm Representative Greg Haddad, House chair of the committee," Haddad said as he opened the session and explained the agenda.
