AN ACT CONCERNING FUNDING FOR SIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETER SERVICES AT ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS AND NARCOTICS ANONYMOUS MEETINGS.

SB 410 would allocate an unspecified amount of state funds from the General Fund to the Department of Public Health for fiscal year 2026. The funds would specifically pay for sign language interpreter services at Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings. This bill directly affects Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals seeking recovery support by improving access to these meetings. It is a funding measure to support existing accessibility needs, not a new requirement for meeting organizers.
