Bill > HB05479

This bill proposes to appropriate funds from the General Fund to the Department of Social Services specifically for the Encompass Transportation Program, which provides transportation services to elderly and disabled individuals in the greater Hartford area. The funding will cover the program's operation and administration expenses for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. By allocating these funds, the bill aims to ensure continued support for a critical transportation service that helps seniors and people with disabilities maintain mobility and access essential services in the Capitol region. While the specific dollar amount is not specified in the bill text (indicated by a blank space), the legislation demonstrates a commitment to supporting vulnerable populations by maintaining funding for this important regional transportation program.
