The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 158, seeks to authorize the issuance of state bonds amounting to a maximum of two million dollars. This funding is intended to support the StayWell Health Center located in Waterbury, specifically for technology upgrades and capital improvements to its facilities. The bill empowers the State Bond Commission to oversee the bond issuance in accordance with existing statutes.
The primary purpose of this legislation is to provide financial assistance through a grant-in-aid from the Department of Economic and Community Development to enhance the operational capabilities of StayWell Health Center. By facilitating these improvements, the bill aims to bolster healthcare services in the Waterbury area.
