The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5803, seeks to amend section 4-28f of the general statutes to ensure nonlapsing funding from the Tobacco and Health Trust Fund. This funding is intended to support the ongoing development of programs focused on education, prevention, and cessation related to tobacco and addictive smoking products.

The primary goal of this legislation is to provide consistent financial resources for initiatives aimed at reducing tobacco use and its associated health risks. By establishing nonlapsing funding, the bill aims to enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of programs designed to combat tobacco addiction and promote healthier lifestyles.
