The General Assembly House Resolution No. 14, introduced by Representative Ritter, pertains to the approval of a settlement and release agreement in the case of Colleen Lord, et al. v. Carlos Padro, et al., which is currently pending in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut. The resolution specifically addresses the financial implications of the settlement, which requires an expenditure exceeding two million five hundred thousand dollars from the General Fund budget.
The resolution seeks the Assembly's approval for this expenditure, as mandated by section 3-125a of the general statutes. By approving this resolution, the General Assembly is endorsing the terms of the settlement agreement as proposed by the Attorney General, thereby facilitating the resolution of the legal action involved in this case.
