The proposed legislation, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 485, aims to make a technical change to the existing statute concerning government organization, specifically Section 4-38j of the general statutes. The bill repeals the current language and substitutes it with new provisions that require the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management and each department head to submit a report to the relevant joint standing committee of the General Assembly regarding the progress and implementation of reorganization. This report is now mandated to be submitted "upon request" and includes a requirement to furnish any additional information or appear before the committee as determined by the chairpersons.

Key changes in the bill include the insertion of a new clause that specifies the conditions under which the report and information must be provided, while deleting the previous language that implied these actions were only required "upon request." The bill is set to take effect on October 1, 2026, and is intended to streamline the reporting process related to government reorganization efforts.
