The proposed bill, General Assembly Committee Bill No. 6011, aims to enhance public access to state agency reports by mandating their online posting. Specifically, it amends Section 11-4a of the general statutes, which currently outlines the reporting requirements for commissions, task forces, committees, and state agencies. The bill introduces new requirements that these entities must submit their reports electronically to the clerks of the Senate, the House of Representatives, and the Office of Legislative Research, as well as file a copy with the State Librarian. Additionally, it stipulates that state agencies must post their reports on their respective websites.

The bill repeals the existing language that simply required the submission of reports without the electronic posting requirement. The changes are set to take effect on October 1, 2025, and are intended to improve transparency and accessibility of government information to the public. The statement of purpose emphasizes the goal of making state agency reports more readily available online.
