Plain-language change summary

The amended version of SB 235 includes a provision that requires the State Ombudsman to devise and implement a plan to increase the number of trained volunteers who assist the State Ombudsman, regional ombudsmen, and residents' advocates. Additionally, it specifies that the State Ombudsman must report on the progress of this recruitment process to the relevant committee by January 1, 2019. The change removes the phrase "of the general statutes" for accuracy but does not alter the implications of the volunteer program increase.
