AN ACT CONCERNING THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH'S RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING VARIOUS REVISIONS TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH STATUTES.

HB 6978 implements revisions to public health statutes based on recommendations from the Connecticut Department of Public Health. It directly affects the Department of Public Health by updating the legal framework governing public health regulations and operations. The bill’s key provision requires the department to adopt specific changes to existing statutes, though it does not detail the exact revisions. As a signed public act (25-96), it became effective upon the governor’s signature on June 24, 2025. This law modifies statutory language to align with current public health practices without specifying new programs or funding.
