Governor Lamont signs 76th executive order to mitigate the spread of
COVID-19

Governor Lamont today signed another executive order - the 76th since he
enacted the emergency declarations - that builds upon his efforts to
encourage mitigation strategies that slow down transmission of the virus.
Executive Order No. 9H
<https://portal.ct.gov/-/media/Office-of-the-Governor/Executive-Orders/Lamon
t-Executive-Orders/Executive-Order-No-9H.pdf>  enacts the following
provisions:

*	Remote participation in agency and municipal meetings: Permits state
agencies and municipal boards, commissions, councils, and local legislative
bodies to conduct business using "hybrid meetings," wherein members of the
public may attend in-person and others attend and participate remotely using
video technology, and allows members of such bodies to attend remotely. This
order adds options for conducting municipal meetings, but does not repeal
any previous executive orders on municipal meetings, such as Executive Order
Nos. 7B and 7I.
*	Technical revisions to extension of eviction moratorium: Makes
technical revisions to Executive Order No. 9E, Section 1, which extended the
moratorium on residential evictions through January 1, 2021.
