Nicole Leonard / Connecticut Public Radio An overwhelming number of people signed up to testify Tuesday during what was expected to be a contentious public hearing on school vaccination requirements -- so many that lawmakers, by a majority vote, decided to cap the duration of the virtual hearing at 24 hours. The limit was criticized by several Republican members of the state Public Health Committee, as well as those who testified throughout the day. “This 24-hour limit of a public hearing where a majority of nearly 2,000 people who’ve signed up to have their voices heard will not have it. They will be denied,” said Sen. Tony Hwang. “This process, in my mind, is disrespectful and insensitive to the people it personally impacts.”
