The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6448, seeks to allocate funding specifically for helicopter search and rescue operations. It proposes an appropriation of three hundred thousand dollars from the General Fund to the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection. This funding is intended to support the New Milford Police Department in maintaining helicopters used for search and rescue missions across the state for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2026, June 30, 2027, and for each fiscal year thereafter.

The bill emphasizes the importance of providing critical financial resources to enhance the capabilities of search and rescue operations, ensuring that the necessary equipment is available for effective emergency response. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text, indicating that this bill introduces new funding provisions without altering existing legal frameworks.
