AI Summary
This bill addresses various measures to recognize and support veterans and members of the armed forces in Connecticut, with multiple provisions affecting different areas of state law. The bill establishes November as Veterans' Month, expands special motor vehicle registration options for veterans (including specific provisions for woman veterans and members of the Hmong Laotian special guerilla units), creates commemorative license plates for "The Borinqueneers" (a Puerto Rican infantry regiment), and introduces several provisions to support military families. Key changes include waiving certain motor vehicle license fees for veterans, ensuring school enrollment continuity for children of military members who are transferred, and requiring the Commissioner of Veterans Affairs to evaluate dental services for veterans. The bill also includes provisions allowing the Adjutant General to establish military awards and ribbons, and modifies regulations for nursing home admissions to provide special considerations for service-connected veterans. These changes aim to provide additional recognition, support, and practical assistance to Connecticut's veterans and military personnel across various aspects of state services.
