The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 1428 proposes the appropriation of funds for the Domestic Workers Education and Training Grants Program. Specifically, it allocates a total of one million dollars, divided into two appropriations of five hundred thousand dollars each, to the Labor Department from the General Fund. The first appropriation is designated for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, and the second for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. Both appropriations are intended to support the program established under section 31-71l of the general statutes.
The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and introduces new legal language to facilitate these appropriations. There are no deletions from current law noted in the text of the bill. The funding aims to enhance education and training opportunities for domestic workers, thereby supporting their professional development and improving their working conditions.
