The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 65, seeks to authorize the issuance of state bonds totaling up to one million five hundred thousand dollars. The funds generated from these bonds will be allocated to the Office of Policy and Management, which will provide a grant-in-aid to the town of Stafford specifically for improvements to the town hall. These improvements are intended to ensure compliance with the physical accessibility guidelines set forth by the federal Americans with Disabilities Act.
The bill empowers the State Bond Commission to issue these bonds in accordance with section 3-20 of the general statutes. There are no deletions from current law noted in the text, as the bill primarily introduces new provisions to facilitate funding for the town hall improvements in Stafford. The overarching goal of the bill is to enhance accessibility and ensure that the town hall meets federal standards for individuals with disabilities.
