CT HB06442

November is designated as Veterans' Month in Connecticut, with the Governor authorized to proclaim the observance and hold commemorative exercises at the State Capitol and other locations

Commemorative "Borinqueneers" license plates will be available starting January 1, 2026 for $60, honoring the primarily Puerto Rican members of the 65th Infantry Regiment, with $45 of each fee supporting Hispanic-American Veterans of Connecticut, Inc.

Veterans and armed forces members who paid membership fees to join the Military Order of the Purple Heart to obtain Purple Heart license plates may apply to the Department of Veterans Affairs for reimbursement of those charges

DMV must waive license or identity card renewal/duplication fees for veterans attending one-day service events hosted by the Department of Veterans Affairs, and issue vouchers for those applying more than six months before expiration

Children of armed forces members can use military transfer orders as proof of residency for school enrollment, and may continue attending their current school through the end of the school year (or through grade 12 for 11th graders) if a parent receives transfer orders mid-year
