The Connecticut Infant Mortality Review Committee opened with member introductions from clinicians and state agency staff, reviewed the draft July minutes and took routine procedural actions before moving into a closed session to review confidential infant death cases.

Co-chair Shana LaFlam called for edits to the draft July minutes and asked for a motion to accept. The transcript records a motion and a second (a participant said "Motion" and the chair thanked someone called 'Julian'; a second was recorded verbally as 'Diana'), but the public transcript does not clearly attribute the mover or seconder to a specific identified participant in the roll-call portion of the meeting. The committee then asked for and recorded a motion to enter executive session "to discuss confidential matters related to infant deaths in Connecticut." The public portion of the meeting closed and members were asked to join a separate executive-session Zoom link.

The committee set its next meeting for September 3. A final motion to adjourn the public portion of the meeting was recorded and seconded (the public transcript records the motion and second but does not provide a named vote tally). No formal policy decisions or public votes on funding were made during the open meeting.

The committee includes representatives from the Department of Public Health, Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, Department of Social Services, Department of Children and Families, Office of the Child Advocate, Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, Yale School of Medicine clinicians, Connecticut Children's Hospital, and nursing and data-abstracting staff who support monthly reviews. The executive session discussion is confidential and was not captured in the public transcript.
