Bill > SB00021

This bill appropriates $1.2 million from the state's General Fund to the Connecticut Department of Public Health specifically for the purpose of reopening recently closed school-based health clinics and maintaining expanded school-based health centers in eastern Connecticut during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. School-based health centers are medical facilities located within schools that provide comprehensive healthcare services to students, often offering both physical and mental health care, which can be especially beneficial in areas with limited healthcare access. By allocating these funds, the bill aims to restore and sustain critical healthcare resources for students in eastern Connecticut, potentially improving healthcare accessibility and supporting student wellness in the region.
