Explanation
The bill results in a potential fiscal impact to the Connecticut Health
and Educational Facilities Authority (CHEFA) to provide financial
assistance to nursing homes for costs incurred to install air conditioning
systems in each resident room, through a revolving loan account,
effective 10/1/25. The amendment does not specify a funding source
for the revolving loan account and makes such loans subject to
requirements to be determined by CHEFA. No new loan may be made
after January 1, 2026, and any remaining funds may be withdrawn by
the authority from such account and used for other purposes of the
authority.
