The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 21, aims to allocate funding for school-based health centers in eastern Connecticut. Specifically, it proposes an appropriation of one million two hundred thousand dollars from the General Fund to the Department of Public Health for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. This funding is intended to support the reopening of recently closed school-based health clinics and to ensure the ongoing operation of expanded health centers in the region.

The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to facilitate the appropriation of funds. The primary goal is to enhance access to health services for students in eastern Connecticut by revitalizing and maintaining these essential health centers.
