Legislative Committee
The goals of the legislative committee are to review existing and proposed language as it pertains to sleep medicine in Connecticut. This includes meeting with state representatives, members of the national sleep associations, and legal council.
As well, the legislative committee reviews changes in legislation in other states and determines what impact a similar change would have in the state of Connecticut.
