AN ACT CONCERNING AN INDEPENDENT BUREAU OF SERVICES FOR PERSONS WHO ARE DEAF, DEAFBLIND OR HARD OF HEARING.

HB 6105 would reorganize the Bureau of Services for Persons Who are Deaf, Deafblind, or Hard of Hearing, moving it from its current structure to become an independent office within the Department of Aging and Disability Services. This change directly affects Connecticut residents who are Deaf, Deafblind, or hard of hearing by altering how their service agency is administered. The bill’s key provision is establishing the bureau as an independent entity under the Department of Aging and Disability Services, without creating new services or altering eligibility. The measure focuses solely on administrative structure, not policy changes for beneficiaries.
