AN ACT CONCERNING EMERGENCY NONPROFIT ASSISTANCE.

SB 1453 establishes a $3 million emergency nonprofit assistance account funded from the General Fund (if a fiscal surplus is projected for 2025). It allocates specific grants to 20 Connecticut-based nonprofits providing direct services to vulnerable populations, including refugee support, LGBTQ+ youth programs, healthcare access, and crisis intervention. The bill directs the Chief Court Administrator to distribute $62,500 to most recipients and larger sums to key organizations like Planned Parenthood ($800,000) and the Hartford Health Collective ($387,500). All funds must be expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, with administrative costs capped at $112,500. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on authorizing specific grant disbursements without creating new policy.
