The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5171, seeks to allocate funding to the Connecticut-Grown for Connecticut Kids program. It proposes that a specific sum of money be appropriated from the General Fund to the Department of Agriculture for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. The purpose of this funding is to support the program and provide incentives for local farms and food growers, thereby promoting local agriculture and enhancing food access for children in Connecticut.

The bill does not include any deletions from current law, as it primarily focuses on the insertion of new funding provisions. The intent is to bolster the Connecticut-Grown for Connecticut Kids program, which aims to connect local agricultural producers with schools and children, fostering a sustainable food system within the state.
