The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6721, seeks to establish a task force dedicated to examining the history and traditions of the Putnam Phalanx, a volunteer social and service organization that provided support to armed forces members and veterans from its inception before the Civil War until after World War II. The task force will also explore potential initiatives that could lead to the reestablishment of this organization to better support current service members and veterans.

The bill does not contain any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to create the task force and outline its objectives. The primary focus is on understanding the historical significance of the Putnam Phalanx and assessing the contemporary needs of veterans and service members that may warrant the revival of such an organization.
