Testimony Request: HB5350 for Beach Pond Boating Enforcement

HB 5350- AN ACT CONCERNING THE ENFORCEMENT OF BOATING LAWS ON BODIES OF WATER NEAR THE RHODE ISLAND, MASSACHUSETTS AND NEW YORK BORDERS is going before the Environment Committee in Hartford and via Zoom on Friday, March 15.

This bill is the first step in getting dual enforcement on Beach Pond by Connecticut and Rhode Island. Connecticut boating enforcement officials would be able to enforce boating violations on the Rhode Island section of Beach Pond and vice versa with Rhode Island boating enforcement officials. A similar bill will need to be passed in Rhode Island and I am in correspondence with RI DEM to get that step moving forward when the bill passes in Connecticut.

Beware of Copycat Help Wanted Ads!!

It has been brought to our attention that there are online help wanted postings for a secretary position at the town hall. We are currently NOT hiring and we believe that these copycat postings might be trying to gather personal information, as some ask for background check information. We have found fake postings on Geebo and Salary.com and have reported them.
