HB 6189 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT APPROPRIATING FUNDS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS FOR ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS TO PROMOTE AWARENESS OF MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH RESOURCES.

HB 6189 appropriates funds from the General Fund to the Department of Veterans Affairs for advertising campaigns promoting mental and behavioral health resources to veterans. The bill specifically directs funding toward raising awareness of existing services, including the 9-8-8 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. It directly affects veterans by improving access to mental health support through targeted outreach. The key mechanism is using state funds for marketing campaigns, not creating new programs or services. This is a procedural funding measure focused on awareness, not policy change.
