AN ACT CONCERNING THE ASSIGNMENT OF SASID NUMBERS AT BIRTH.

HB 5521 requires Connecticut to assign a unique state-assigned student identifier number (SASID) to every child born in the state. This affects all newborns and their families by creating a standardized identifier for tracking developmental progress. The bill's purpose is to enable long-term data analysis of children's growth and help identify infants with developmental delays who may not qualify for existing services. The SASID system would be used by state education and health agencies to support early intervention efforts.
