Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont<\/a> has issued and updated enough Executive Orders (EOs) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that individuals may find it difficult to easily access information affecting businesses, changes in government services and requirements, and issues with legal implications.<\/p>\n

For example, on Feb. 5, the Governor re-tweeted<\/a> posts from Connecticut Senate Democrats announcing two new executive orders, one saying<\/a> income from federal COVID-19 stimulus payments will not count against eligibility for state-provided benefits like Medicaid, and the other allowing<\/a> Connecticut voters to vote in any special election or primary by absentee ballot for reasons related to COVID-19 through April 20.<\/p>\n

The tweets have nice explanatory graphics but don\u2019t link to a page providing more information. The new provisions are contained in Executive Order No. 10, available on EOs page of the Governor\u2019s website<\/a>, but it takes a few clicks from the home page to get there.<\/p>\n

Another one-click resource for learning the current status for a broad range of pandemic-related topics is provided by the Office of Legislative Research<\/a> (ORL), the Connecticut General Assembly\u2019s nonpartisan research office.<\/p>\n

The ORL\u2019s COVID-19 reports and research page<\/a> provides up-to-date reports on these critical topics:<\/p>\n
