Today, I joined college students at the Affirmative Consent rally at the Capitol to speak in support of a H.B. 5376. This bill would standardize a policy at Connecticut colleges on sexual consent through positive affirmation from both parties. Sexual violence is unacceptable on any college campus and I will continue to fight for this bill’s passage as it makes its way through session.

Rep. Lemar proudly votes YES on a bill protecting vulnerable users of public rights of way. The bill creates a maximum fine of $1000 on a person operating a motor vehicle on a public way who fails to exercise reasonable care and causes the serious physical injury or death of a vulnerable user of a public way.
