Senate Bill No. 1428 proposes the appropriation of $500,000 to the Labor Department from the General Fund for the domestic workers education and training grants program for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2027. This funding is intended to support the program established under section 31-71l of the general statutes. The bill includes new legal language indicating the effective date of the appropriations as July 1, 2025, and specifies that these are new sections being added to the law.

The bill does not delete any existing legal language but rather adds appropriations to support the ongoing program, which has previously received funding through ARPA in the amount of $400,000 over two fiscal years. The fiscal impact of this bill is limited to the specified fiscal years, with no additional costs associated with program administration as it is already managed within the agency. The Labor and Public Employees Committee has reported the bill favorably, indicating support for its passage.
