AN ACT CONCERNING FUNDING FOR SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTERS IN EASTERN CONNECTICUT.

SB 21 appropriates $1.2 million from the General Fund to the Department of Public Health for fiscal year 2026. This funding will reopen recently closed school-based health centers and support the continued operation of expanded centers in eastern Connecticut. The bill directly affects students and schools in eastern Connecticut by restoring access to on-site health services. It is a straightforward funding measure with no new policy requirements or eligibility changes. The bill focuses solely on providing financial resources for existing health center operations.
