AN ACT CONCERNING A VETERANS' DAY OBSERVANCE AT THE ROCKY HILL VETERANS' HOME.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:
Section 1. Section 27-106 of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):
(a) The commissioner shall adopt and enforce such rules as may be necessary to ensure order, enforce discipline and preserve the health and ensure the comfort of the patients in the Veterans' Home, and shall discipline or dismiss any officer or patient of the home who disobeys or infringes upon such rules. The commissioner shall appoint, subject to the provisions of chapter 67, such officers and employees as are necessary for the administration of the affairs of the home, shall prescribe the relative rank, if any, of such officers and employees, and shall commission each such officer, who shall wear such uniform, if any, as is prescribed by the commissioner.
(b) The chief fiscal officer shall submit an itemized list of expenditures made from the institutional general welfare fund to the commissioner at intervals not greater than two months. Such list shall include all such expenditures made during the two-month period preceding its submission. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 4-56, the commissioner shall prescribe procedures to limit and specify the uses for which expenditures may be made from the institutional general welfare fund so that only expenditures which, in the opinion of the commissioner and the board of trustees for the department appointed pursuant to section 27-102n, directly benefit veterans or the Veterans' Home are permitted.
(c) In addition to the estimate of expenditure requirements required under section 4-77, the commissioner shall submit an accounting of all planned expenditures for the next fiscal year from the institutional general welfare fund to the joint standing committee of the General Assembly having cognizance of matters relating to appropriations and the budgets of state agencies at the time such estimate is submitted.
(d) The Commissioner of Veterans' Affairs shall hold suitable exercises in the Veterans' Home annually on November eleventh recognizing resident veterans for their military service.
