House Bill No. 6723 proposes to designate the month of November each year as "Veterans' Month" in recognition of the service and sacrifice of individuals who have served in the armed forces. The bill mandates that the Governor shall proclaim this month and allows for suitable observances to be held in the State Capitol and other designated locations. The new legal language added to the current law is found in subsection (a) of section 10-29a, specifically the insertion of subdivision (118), which outlines this designation.

The bill is set to take effect upon passage and does not have any associated fiscal impact on the state or municipalities. The Veterans' and Military Affairs Committee has reported favorably on the bill, indicating broad support with a vote of 20 in favor and none against. Overall, the bill aims to honor veterans and promote awareness of their contributions to the nation and the state of Connecticut.
