AN ACT AUTHORIZING BONDS OF THE STATE TO COMMEMORATE THE SERVICE AND SACRIFICE OF PHILIPPINE-AMERICAN WAR VETERANS.

SB 202 authorizes Connecticut to issue up to $300,000 in state bonds to fund a commemorative addition honoring Philippine-American War veterans at the existing Connecticut State Veterans Memorial in Hartford's Minuteman Park. The Department of Veterans Affairs would use the bond proceeds specifically for this memorial feature. The bill directly affects the state budget and the memorial's physical design, but does not change veteran benefits or eligibility. It is a purely commemorative measure with no policy or legal impact beyond memorialization.
