Senator Austin asked whether the rule would allow police officers to collect blood at accident scenes or at police facilities. Dante Costa, regulatory affairs manager for the Department of Public Health, and Barbara Cass, senior advisor to the commissioner for long-term care, told the committee the regulation governs licensure of blood-collection facilities and does not authorize unlicensed entities to collect blood.

\"This regulation is focused on the licensure of the facilities, so your American Red Cross type facility. It does not contemplate the collection of blood, by an unlicensed entity of any kind,\" Costa said.

Senator Austin said some jurisdictions had discussed training officers to collect blood at a scene or in barracks but that state police and larger departments had declined the practice because of safety and operational concerns. He told the committee he was \"concerned\" that roadside blood draws could pose safety and chain-of-custody complications and asked for assurance the regulation would not authorize that activity.

Cass replied, \"No. This regulation is focused on the lawful collection of blood in a licensed facility that is designed for that purpose only.\" Senator Austin noted his affirmative vote was given with that assurance.

The committee approved the rule by roll call on the LCO recommendation; Senator Austin moved the motion and Senator Kissel seconded. The action was recorded in the meeting's roll call.","Regulation Review Committee approved proposed regulation 2024-028a from the Department of Public Health on blood collection facilities and received clarification that the rule governs licensed collection facilities and does not authorize police to collect blood at accident scenes or in stations.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6313112,"Regulation Review Committee approves DEEP rule adding enforcement provision for Swan's Pond",0,739000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2389246-e2b477568402053c4d4cd4dfba5654de&start=739&end=739","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2389246-e2b477568402053c4d4cd4dfba5654de/thumbnail_739000.jpg","/articles/6313112/Connecticut/Regulation-Review-Committee-approves-DEEP-rule-adding-enforcement-provision-for-Swans-Pond","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6313112-4fe78d59106d969c06b991a8f6311f8c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771137078&Signature=WIiSCE4u1HG4u1LFijsORyRkJa4bYb4X7avtF~zEpBCboGb7~l3~zhEVORTK~MXQzXGnpqaennR3UEGJbz3~JWG5K3FHBATbfKR7oAoTcIAZPciYrCdtYqrHGrIAu3Vz~bfXpW5lQ-flUxYTvgFC-YFZEjudejDmadlmyeSmtTvXDZNMjLvSGFR37KexC~A3m46YjyHAHNehDMN5-CovsA1cckfqU5r9-vyyHKZci~~E8AEf2T6gTNvi8Xq1tGC9GNWZbEiyHQA4Sod7~1WMC8vqVNtg-fJ9bLa9K1ryt4nRIQnMBZ2P4pnMUFEU7JesD-byllrvATZ82eBd1o5qHw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Regulation Review Committee approved proposed regulation 2025-002 from the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) on Tuesday, accepting the Legislative Commissioners' Office recommendation of approval in whole with technical corrections.

The approved rule adds a subsection — labeled DD in the proposed text — that DEEP said creates an enforcement mechanism tied to a prior public act and authorizes issuance of infractions at Swan's Pond, DEEP officials told the committee.

Senator Austin asked DEEP for a summary of subsection DD. Mason Trumbull, deputy commissioner of DEEP, said the provision \"will, in essence, create an enforcement mechanism, from the public act that was passed a couple years ago and create an infraction, an opportunity to issue infractions at Swan's Pond. So in essence, it's an enforcement mechanism, as a result of the public act that was passed.\" Mike Lambert, DEEP bureau chief for outdoor recreation, was introduced and present for questions.

The committee moved the LCO recommendation to approve the regulation with technical corrections; Senator Austin moved and Senator Kissel seconded the motion. A roll-call vote followed and the motion passed.

The change implements an enforcement avenue tied to existing state law rather than creating a separate new penalty scheme, DEEP said during the brief discussion. DEEP officials framed the subsection as administrative enforcement that operationalizes the authority granted by the earlier public act.

The committee did not request further changes to the substance of DD during the hearing; the committee approved the rule subject to the technical corrections recommended by the LCO. The regulation will proceed under the normal rulemaking record for implementation and any further agency guidance.

The committee heard several other proposed regulations at the same meeting and concluded its agenda after roll calls on each item.","The Regulation Review Committee on Feb. 25 approved proposed regulation 2025-002 from the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to add an enforcement mechanism for Swan's Pond; DEEP officials described the new subsection as enabling issuance of infractions under a prior public act.","actionData","errors"]
