The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 284, aims to amend section 13a-95 of the general statutes by requiring the Commissioner of Transportation to respond to appeals regarding the rejection of construction bids within a specified timeframe. Specifically, the bill mandates that the Commissioner must provide a response no later than fifteen days after the appeal has been mailed.

This legislative change is intended to streamline the appeals process for construction bid rejections, ensuring that contractors receive timely feedback on their appeals. The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces the new requirement for a fifteen-day response period, thereby enhancing accountability and efficiency within the Department of Transportation.
