AN ACT CONCERNING FUNDING FOR THE PERFORMING THEATERS GRANT.

This bill appropriates state funds from the General Fund to expand the Performing Theaters Grant program. It allocates unspecified funding for fiscal years ending June 2026, 2027, and beyond to support three specific theater organizations: The Katherine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, the New Haven Center for Performing Arts, and the Fairfield Theater Company. The bill directly affects these three nonprofit theaters by adding them to the list of eligible grant recipients. The key mechanism is expanding the program's funding and recipient list, without changing the grant's existing structure.
