Substitute House Bill No. 5431, known as Public Act No. 24-131, is legislation that establishes a new account titled the "Connecticut families and workers account." This account is designed to be a separate, nonlapsing account within the General Fund, specifically aimed at assisting low-income workers. The act mandates that any money required by law to be deposited into this account will be used for the stated purpose, with the Comptroller responsible for the expenditure of these funds.
The bill also includes a provision regarding the allocation of funds, stating that up to $3,000,000 of the unexpended balance of funds appropriated for State Employees Health Service Costs under a previous act (public act 23-204) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, will be carried forward. This amount is to be made available during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, and is designated for deposit into the newly established Connecticut families and workers account. It is important to note that this bill was vetoed on June 11, 2024. There are no specific insertions or deletions from current law indicated in the provided text.
