HB 6723 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT DESIGNATING THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER AS VETERANS' MONTH.

HB 6723 designates November as "Veterans' Month" in Connecticut, requiring the Governor to issue an annual proclamation recognizing military service and sacrifice. The bill directs the Governor to designate suitable events (like Capitol observances) for public recognition, with no new state or municipal costs. It affects the Governor’s office as the designated administrator and honors veterans who served in U.S. and Connecticut armed forces. This procedural measure has no fiscal impact, as confirmed by the state’s fiscal analysis.
