The hyperlink for HB 5304 is non-functional but open testimony is linked from the site page of the Public Safety and Security Committee directing to the address pstestimony@cga.ct.gov. If you can please urge your local representative to vote in favor of this bill and preserve the state's largest tract of managed forest, not just an essential location in the migratory bird flyway but for many other species as well.

Open testimony is being accepted until 14 March on HB 5304 which would require DESPP to submit to the Public Safety and Security Committee of the State House a comprehensive analysis of its training facility needs and assessing current training sites run by the state prior to the completion of any environmental impact report 'pertaining to a firearms training facility'. This bill will stop DAS from surreptitiously running over a community and raising a facility against the objection and legal recourse of its residents, as is playing out currently in my town. I would urge every CGA member not to buy in to the state's assertion that this bill makes their process costlier and more delayed because they have squandered enormous resources already in failing to show any intent for comparatively higher-return sites.
