The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 177, seeks to authorize the issuance of state bonds to fund the construction of a new police station in the city of Norwich. Specifically, the bill empowers the State Bond Commission to issue bonds totaling up to thirty-three million five hundred thousand dollars. The proceeds from these bonds will be allocated to the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection, which will provide a grant-in-aid to Norwich for the construction project.

The primary purpose of this legislation is to cover sixty-seven percent of the funding required for the new police station. This initiative reflects the state's commitment to enhancing public safety infrastructure in local communities, particularly in Norwich, by facilitating the development of essential law enforcement facilities.
