SB 470 Connecticut Senate · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING THE LEGISLATIVE COMMISSIONERS' RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TECHNICAL AND MINOR REVISIONS TO THE GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATION STATUTES.

SB 470 makes technical and minor revisions to Connecticut's government administration statutes across several areas. The bill updates rules for funeral service contracts by setting specific timeframes for when escrow funds become payable, requires higher education institutions to include nondiscrimination language in contracts, and adjusts compensation limits for guardians and conservators managing state-supported individuals. Additionally, it clarifies court procedures for serving legal notices in guardianship cases, ensuring family members receive proper notification. These changes aim to improve administrative clarity and protect vulnerable populations without altering the core structure of existing laws.
