The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 199, seeks to authorize the issuance of state bonds for the restoration and renovation of the historic Pinney House located in Ellington, Connecticut. The bill empowers the State Bond Commission to issue bonds not exceeding a total of one million dollars, with the proceeds designated for a grant-in-aid to the town of Ellington or a nonprofit organization designated by the town. This funding aims to support local historical education and provide civic space for residents.

The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that empowers the State Bond Commission to facilitate the bond issuance in accordance with section 3-20 of the general statutes. The overall purpose of the bill is to enhance the preservation of the Pinney House, thereby contributing to the community's historical and cultural resources.
