    Connecticut residents have filed a Writ of Mandamus in Superior Court, seeking to ensure that state officials uphold their oaths of office and follow the procedural requirements of the United States and Connecticut Constitutions.

    The filing raises concerns that major 2026 legislation in a short session—spanning at least 31 bills that have been examined and analyzed—has been advanced through accelerated timelines, last-minute amendments, and limited public access, reducing transparency and limiting meaningful public participation, particularly when final versions differ significantly from those initially presented for public review.

    The challenge focuses on how these practices may affect fundamental areas of daily life, including but not limited to:

    • Fundamental Liberties: Protecting the role of parents in education and the ability of individuals to act in accordance with personal and religious beliefs
    • Healthcare Decisions: Preserving the ability of individuals to make private, informed medical choices, including concerns regarding policies that may require exemptions for adults in order to decline certain medical interventions (e.g., HB5044)
    • Property Rights: Ensuring local control and transparency in land use and public space decisions
    • Personal Privacy: Safeguarding against the collection, sharing, and integration of personal data across agencies and systems without clear consent and accountability

    The petitioners assert that, taken together, these measures may shift decision-making away from open legislative processes and toward administrative systems with less direct public oversight and accountability.

    The filing emphasizes that elected officials are bound by oath to uphold constitutional principles—not only in the substance of laws, but in the integrity of the process by which those laws are made.

    By filing this writ, the petitioners are exercising their right to seek lawful and peaceful redress, ensuring that public participation, transparency, and accountability remain central to Connecticut’s system of government.

    Action Item

    Residents are encouraged to review pending legislation and emergency certifications (“E-Certs”) and to participate in the legislative process by asking questions and engaging with their elected representatives. Visit: https://www.cga.ct.gov
