HB 6664 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT WAIVING ANY FEE ASSOCIATED WITH CONDUCTING A STATE CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORDS CHECK FOR VETERANS.

HB 6664 waives all fees for veterans who need to conduct a state criminal history background check. It directly affects veterans seeking these checks for employment, licensing, or other purposes requiring background verification. The bill amends existing law to require the state agency managing these checks (the Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection) to automatically eliminate any associated costs for veterans. This change simplifies the process by removing a financial barrier for veterans using state background check services.
