Senate Bill No. 1453 establishes the "emergency nonprofit assistance account," a separate, nonlapsing account funded by a transfer of three million dollars from the General Fund, contingent upon a projected surplus for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. The bill outlines that the Chief Court Administrator will utilize the funds during the fiscal year to award various grants to nonprofit organizations, with specific amounts designated for each grantee. Notably, the bill includes several new insertions, such as the names of organizations eligible for grants, including the Connecticut Institute for Refugees and Immigrants, Jewish Family Services of Greenwich, and Planned Parenthood of Southern New England, among others.

Additionally, the bill specifies that $112,500 will be allocated for the administrative costs associated with awarding these grants. The legal language that has been deleted includes references to previous grant recipients or amounts that are no longer applicable. The bill aims to provide targeted financial support to nonprofits that serve diverse communities, particularly in response to emergency needs.
