The proposed legislation, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 468, mandates that the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management conduct a review of the reporting requirements imposed on nonprofit human services providers by various state agencies. This review, to be conducted by January 1, 2028, and every three years thereafter, will assess the number of reports required, the overlap of information, the resources needed for preparation, and the utility of these reports. The Secretary is tasked with eliminating or consolidating any reporting deemed unduly burdensome or duplicative, unless such reporting is necessary to prevent fraud, mandated by federal law, or required by state law. Additionally, the Secretary must submit a report summarizing the review's findings and any recommendations for legislative changes by February 1, 2029, and triennially thereafter.

Furthermore, the bill amends section 4-70b of the general statutes to establish uniform policies for managing and evaluating the quality and cost-effectiveness of health and human services purchased from private providers. Notably, it introduces a requirement that private provider organizations receive payment for services within 45 days of submitting a properly completed claim or upon receipt of services, whichever is later. This change aims to ensure timely payments to service providers, thereby enhancing the efficiency of service delivery in the nonprofit sector.
