HB 7184 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT, INCLUDING A REVIEW OF STATE PURCHASE OF SERVICE CONTRACTS WITH NONPROFIT PROVIDERS, STATE AGENCY CONTRACTS FOR CONSULTING SERVICES, MUNICIPAL GRANTS AND CERTAIN NONRESIDENT BIDDER CONTRACT AWARDS.

HB 7184 requires the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management to conduct two key reviews: (1) annually assess whether state payments to nonprofits providing health/human services (like disability or behavioral health care) adequately cover service costs, and (2) evaluate and reduce duplicate or burdensome reporting requirements these nonprofits face with state agencies. The bill mandates annual reviews of payment rates for nonprofits (starting January 2026) and triennial reviews of reporting requirements (starting January 2026), with reports to legislative committees by February 2027 and every 5/3 years thereafter. It directly affects nonprofits delivering state-funded health/human services and state agencies managing contracts and grants. The bill aims to ensure fair compensation for providers and streamline administrative burdens through systematic reviews and legislative recommendations.

MODERATE
The bill was revised to expand its scope beyond just nonprofit human services providers to include state agency consulting contracts, municipal grants, and nonresident bidder contract awards. The Legislative Program Review and Investigations Committee reestablishment study was modified to focus on duties and staffing within the existing oversight committee rather than creating a separate committee. Several reporting deadlines were adjusted, with some review periods changed from annual to triennial and others extended to five years.
