Maddy summaryHB 5178 increases penalties for possessing child sexual abuse material (replacing the term "child pornography") based on the depicted victim's age: under 5, 5-12, or 12-16 years old. The bill amends Chapter 952 of the general statutes to establish tiered penalties reflecting the age of the child shown in the material. It directly affects individuals convicted of possessing such material, with harsher penalties applying when the depicted victim is younger. The change aims to strengthen legal consequences for this offense while updating terminology to "child sexual abuse material."

AN ACT CONCERNING TELEHEALTH.
Maddy summaryHB 5198 updates Connecticut's telehealth laws to extend the current regulatory framework until June 30, 2027. The bill requires telehealth providers to verify patient insurance coverage, maintain access to medical history, and obtain informed consent before delivering remote care. It also restricts the prescribing of certain controlled substances via telehealth and mandates that providers share telehealth records with a patient's primary care doctor if the patient agrees. These rules apply to all healthcare professionals offering remote services to patients within the state during the specified period.
