AN ACT CONCERNING ORGANIZATIONS SUPPORTING OVERSEAS MILITARY PERSONNEL.

HB 5075 would create a state fund within the Military Department to provide grants to organizations coordinating care package donations for active-duty military personnel serving overseas. It appropriates funds from the General Fund for fiscal year 2026 to support these organizations in collecting and distributing items like snacks, hygiene products, and letters. The bill directly affects nonprofit groups that manage volunteer efforts to send care packages to deployed service members. This policy change establishes a formal state funding mechanism to supplement existing civilian support for overseas military personnel.
