SJ 71 Connecticut Senate · 2026 Regular Session

RESOLUTION CONFIRMING THE NOMINATION OF SHANNON JACOVINO OF WEST HARTFORD TO BE DIRECTOR OF THE OFFICE OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES OMBUDSPERSON.

This bill confirms the Governor's nomination of Shannon Jacovino from West Hartford to serve as the Director of the Office of Developmental Services Ombudsperson. The resolution approves her reappointment to a four-year term, which ends either four years from confirmation or when a successor is appointed and qualified, whichever occurs later. This action directly affects the state's administrative leadership for the Office of Developmental Services Ombudsperson by formally recognizing Jacovino's appointment. The measure is a procedural confirmation that allows the nominee to officially begin her role without requiring new legislation.
