June 30, 2026. The FY 26 calculation incorporates the appropriations

spending cap calculation base.
Growth Rate
The FY 27 growth rate for all appropriated funds is 6.2% over FY 26
appropriations. T he FY 2 7 growth rate is 0.8% over FY 2 7 original

Section 9 suspends the statutory end -of-year transfer from the
Probate Court Administration Fund to the General Fund, precluding
General Fund revenue of about $25 million in FY 27.
Section 10 changes the accounts within the Connecticut State Library
through which funding is provided for various organizations in FY 27.
Section 1 1 changes the accounts within the State Department of
Education through which funding is provided for various organizations
in FY 27. The section does not change the amount of funding provided
to the organizations.
Section 12 requires the Office of Legislative Management (OLM) to
apply terms consistent with the collective bargaining agreement for the
Connecticut Employees Union Independent, NP -2 bargaining unit to
sHB5032 File No. 661

sHB5032 / File No. 661 65

legislative employees resulting in a cost to OLM of approximately $2.5
million in FY 27.
Section 13 carries forward $100,000 in OLM to FY 27 for the removal
of the John Mason statute from the state capitol building.
Section 14 provides $100,000, in FY 27 to the three state -recognized
tribes, The Schaghticoke, the Paucatuck Eastern Pequot and the Golden
Hill Paugussett, for storm damage clean-up and hazardous tree removal
on their reservations.
Section 1 5 provides $50,000 in FY 27 to the Mashantucket Pequot
Tribe and the Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut and the three
state-recognized tribes, The Schaghticoke, the Paucatuck Eastern Pequot
and the Golden Hill Paugussett, for hunting and fishing license fees.
Section 16 makes $3 million in FY 26 and $4 million in FY 27 of funds
appropriated to the Department of Transportation’s Rail Operations
account in PA 25-168 available for Shore Line East. As these funds have
already been appropriated and are currently available for Shore Line
East, this section does not have a net fiscal impact.
Section 17 carries forward $850,000 from the amount appropriated to
the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection (DESPP)
for Social Work Law Enforcement Training Partnership in FY 26 into FY
27.
Section 18 carries forward up to $200,000 appropriated to the
Department of Economic and Community Development for a grant to
the American Legion Post 17 in Naugatuck.
Section 19 carries forward up to $250,000 appropriated to the
Department of Children and Families for a grant to the Thames River
Community Services.

Council, and Southern Connecticut State University to jointly report on
the status of the social work and law enforcement project established
sHB5032 File No. 661

sHB5032 / File No. 661 66

under CGS Sec. 29-1ll. The report must be submitted by January 1, 2027,
to the Appropriations and the Public Safety and Security Committees.
Section 21 requires the Student Loan Ombudsman to submit
productivity reports for both CY 25 and CY 26 resulting in no fiscal
impact.
Sections 22 - 23 rename the Governor’s Guards account to the
Governor’s Foot Guard account and separate the Governor’s Guards
horse account into two subaccounts, resulting in no fiscal impact.
Section 24 makes a variety of procedural and clarifying changes to
the Finish Line Scholars program that have no fiscal impact.
Section 25 results in a cost to the Department of Social Services (DSS)
of approximately $1.3 million annually associated with suspending the
separate inflation cost limitation on direct care costs as reported in 2024
cost report filings and factoring such costs into FY 27 ICF rates.
Section 26 removes a provision that establishes a boundary on certain
tribal property that qualifies for the Tiered PILOT grant. This results in
a potential cost to the Office of Policy and Management for Tiered
PILOT beginning in FY 27 and a corresponding revenue g ain to certain
towns to the extent more property qualifies for this grant.
Section 27 requires each intern in the Connecticut Legislative Intern
Program to receive a stipend of $1,500 and mileage reimbursement
resulting in an annual cost to OLM of up to $100,000. The exact cost is
dependent on the number of interns and the amount of milea ge
reimbursement requested.
The Out Years
The fiscal impact is subject to future appropriations authorizations
beginning in FY 28.
