HB 7090 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING THE TIMING AND SCOPE OF AUDITS BY THE AUDITORS OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTS.

HB 7090 changes how state auditors conduct financial reviews of public funds. It requires audits to occur within specific timeframes after each fiscal year ends and clarifies the scope to include all public accounts receiving state funding. This directly affects state auditors and public entities like municipalities, schools, and non-profits that manage state money. The law aims to standardize audit processes by setting clear deadlines and defining exactly what financial records must be reviewed. The bill became law as Public Act 25-147 after being signed by the governor on July 8, 2025.
