AN ACT ADJUSTING THE STATE BUDGET FOR THE BIENNIUM ENDING JUNE 30, 2027.

HB 5032 adjusts Connecticut's state budget for the 2026-2027 fiscal year by modifying specific funding levels in the General Fund. It revises appropriations for numerous state agencies, including the Governor's Office, Secretary of the State, Department of Veterans Affairs, and others, showing updated budget figures for personnel, operations, and specific programs. The bill takes effect July 1, 2026, and directly affects state agency budgets without creating new policies or programs. This is a procedural budget adjustment, not a substantive legislative change.
