The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5866, aims to amend the general statutes to mandate a study by the Office of Policy and Management regarding the utilization of federal COVID-19 relief funds by municipalities. This initiative is intended to provide insights into how these funds have been spent at the local level, ensuring transparency and accountability in the distribution and use of federal resources.

The bill does not contain any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that establishes the requirement for the study. By focusing on the spending practices of municipalities, the bill seeks to enhance understanding of the impact of COVID-19 relief funds and potentially inform future funding decisions and policies.
