Proposed Bill No. 607 aims to enhance legislative oversight of the State Contracting Standards Board by amending section 4e-2 of the general statutes. Key changes include requiring the Governor to appoint a chairperson within thirty days of a vacancy, with the most senior board member serving as interim chairperson if no appointment is made. Additionally, the bill mandates legislative confirmation of the chairperson, establishes a three-member investigation team led by the Chief Procurement Officer with access to all state agency contracting records, and reduces the board's membership from fourteen to eleven members.

The bill emphasizes the importance of efficiency and compliance in state procurement and contracting practices, reflecting a commitment to improved governance. The proposed changes are designed to streamline the appointment process, enhance accountability through legislative confirmation, and ensure thorough oversight of state contracting activities.
