AN ACT CONCERNING COMMUNITY ACTION AGENCIES.

This bill requires the Commissioner of Social Services to submit a status report on community action agencies by October 1, 2026. The report will compare the current number of agencies to 2021 figures, summarize any investigations from the past two years, list agencies that lost their designation, identify underserved regions, assess agency health including finances and property, and outline challenges and potential state support actions. This legislation directly affects community action agencies and the state's oversight of them by mandating a comprehensive review of their operations and capacity.
