Veto override session Monday

It will be a busy day Monday at the Capitol. Both houses of the General Assembly will go into session to consider overriding the Governor’s vetoes. It is unclear how many of her 19 vetoes will come up for a vote. The legislature has three days to decide. Among her vetoes are the SustiNet and Healthcare Partnership bills which have been cited as priorities by leadership.

Also on Monday, the CT Health Policy Project is cosponsoring an eHealth privacy and security consumer input forum at 10am in Room 1C of the LOB. Also at 10am but across town, the CT Insurance Dept. will hold a hearing on whether to approve Anthem’s request for premium increases up to 32%.
