SB 280 Connecticut Senate · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING THE LEGISLATIVE COMMISSIONERS' RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MINOR AND TECHNICAL REVISIONS TO STATUTES RELATING TO VETERANS' AND MILITARY AFFAIRS.

SB 280 makes minor technical revisions to statutes affecting veterans' services in Connecticut. It clarifies staffing requirements for the Office of Advocacy and Assistance, specifying it must have at least 19 staff (including 14 veteran service officers who must be veterans themselves) and 3 clerical personnel. The bill also establishes a dedicated "Hispanic-American Veterans of Connecticut" commemorative account within the General Fund to fund bilingual services for veterans, allowing private donations to support this account. These changes are purely procedural and technical, with no new funding or policy shifts, as stated in the bill's purpose.
