The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 201, seeks to authorize the issuance of state bonds not exceeding one million dollars for the establishment of a World War II museum and education center in East Hartford. The funds generated from these bonds will be allocated to the Department of Economic and Community Development, which will provide a grant-in-aid to either the town of East Hartford or a designated nonprofit organization to facilitate the project.

The primary purpose of this legislation is to memorialize the contributions and sacrifices of World War II veterans by creating a dedicated space for education and remembrance. The bill empowers the State Bond Commission to oversee the bond issuance in accordance with existing statutes, thereby ensuring that the funding is appropriately managed and utilized for the intended purpose.
