AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE ADJUTANT GENERAL TO ESTABLISH AND REMOVE CERTAIN STATE MILITARY AWARDS.

SB 1153 authorizes the Adjutant General to establish new state military awards (such as medals or ribbons) and remove any such awards created on or after July 1, 2025. It does not affect existing awards established before that date or those created by the General Assembly. The bill amends Section 27-20 of state law to clarify this authority, effective July 1, 2025, with minimal fiscal impact. This is a procedural change to administrative powers, not a policy affecting citizens or specific groups.
