Bill > SB00280

This bill makes minor and technical adjustments to existing laws concerning veterans' and military affairs, primarily focusing on language and administrative details. Specifically, it corrects the wording in a statute related to the Office of Advocacy and Assistance for veterans, changing "less" to "fewer" when referring to the minimum number of staff members, including veterans' service officers and clerical personnel, who assist veterans and their families. Additionally, it modifies the description of a commemorative account for "Hispanic-American Veterans of Connecticut," removing the phrase "within the General Fund" to clarify that this is a separate, nonlapsing account dedicated to providing bilingual services and assistance to Connecticut's veterans and armed forces members, and allowing for private donations to be deposited directly into this account. These changes are set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
