The Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection may, within available appropriations, establish and operate a Connecticut Conservation Corps program, similar to the federal Young Adult Conservation Corps program (29 USC 991 et seq.), for the employment of young adults at facilities maintained and operated by the Division of Conservation and Preservation of the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.
(P.A. 82-91, S. 26, 38; P.A. 91-369, S. 2, 36; P.A. 11-80, S. 1.)
History: P.A. 91-369 made establishment of the program discretionary within available appropriations, rather than mandatory as was previously the case; pursuant to P.A. 11-80, “Commissioner of Environmental Protection” and “Department of Environmental Protection” were changed editorially by the Revisors to “Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection” and “Department of Energy and Environmental Protection”, respectively, effective July 1, 2011.
