Gov. Ned Lamont said Thursday he plans to extend Connecticut’s eviction moratorium for at least another month to allow more time to get rental relief to people who need it, a day after a federal judge invalidated the national ban on evictions.
The decision to extend Connecticut’s moratorium, which Lamont issued separately from the national one as part of his emergency powers tied to the pandemic, will be up to the governor and General Assembly. The governor said he planned to consult with legislative leaders Thursday about how to make it happen.

Attorneys from three legal aid programs from across the state filed a federal complaint Monday against Gov. Ned Lamont and Connecticut, alleging that its vaccine rollout plan discriminates against residents of color.
The complaint asks the Office for Civil Rights to “immediately investigate and issue findings on an expedited basis” on whether the vaccine rollout discriminates on the basis of race and disability. Attorneys from Connecticut Legal Services, Inc., the New Haven Legal Assistance Association and Greater Hartford Legal Aid asked the OCR to tell Connecticut to revise its vaccine rollout to include people with underlying health conditions that put them at risk of contracting COVID-19, regardless of their age, and individuals who hold jobs that put them at heightened risk of contracting the virus, as identified by the Centers for Disease Control.
