Bill > HB06723

This bill amends the Connecticut General Statutes by adding a new provision that requires the Governor to officially proclaim November as Veterans' Month each year. The purpose of this designation is to recognize and honor the service and sacrifice of military veterans who have served in the armed forces, protecting both the United States and the state of Connecticut. Under this legislation, the Governor is authorized to organize and designate suitable commemorative exercises at the State Capitol and other locations to observe and celebrate Veterans' Month. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, adding a new subdivision (118) to section 10-29a of the state statutes. By creating this official monthly recognition, the bill aims to provide a formal opportunity for the state to express gratitude and respect for veterans' contributions to national and state security.
