House Bill No. 6723 proposes to designate the month of November as "Veterans' Month" in the state of Connecticut. The bill mandates that the Governor shall proclaim this month annually to honor the service and sacrifice of individuals who have served in the armed forces. Additionally, it allows for suitable observances to be held in the State Capitol and other designated locations as determined by the Governor.
The bill amends subsection (a) of section 10-29a of the general statutes by adding a new subdivision (118) that formalizes this designation. There are no deletions from current law, and the bill is set to take effect upon passage. Importantly, the fiscal impact of this bill is noted to be none for both state and municipal levels, indicating that the implementation of this designation will not incur additional costs.
