AN ACT CONCERNING FUNDING FOR THE STATE-WIDE NARCOTICS TASK FORCE.

SB 31 allocates $500,000 from the General Fund to the State-Wide Narcotics Task Force for fiscal year 2026. This funding directly supports law enforcement efforts targeting illegal fentanyl manufacturing and sales in Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, and Waterbury. The bill provides specific financial resources to the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection for these cities' narcotics enforcement activities. It does not create new laws but directs existing state resources to address fentanyl distribution in specified communities.
