The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6, aims to enhance support for children and families by introducing a refundable child tax credit and increasing funding for school meal programs. Specifically, the bill amends chapter 229 of the general statutes to establish a refundable child tax credit for tax filers with a federal adjusted gross income of $100,000 or less for single filers and $200,000 or less for married couples filing jointly, applicable for up to three children. Additionally, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027, the bill proposes an increase in the appropriation to the Department of Education to provide free breakfast to students in schools participating in the school breakfast program and free lunch to students eligible for reduced-price meals in schools participating in the national school lunch program.

The bill reflects a commitment to improving the well-being of children and families by providing financial relief through the tax credit and ensuring access to nutritious meals for students in need. The proposed changes include the insertion of new provisions regarding the child tax credit and the school meal funding, while no deletions from current law are specified in the text provided.
