AN ACT CONCERNING VARIOUS REVISIONS TO STATE AGENCY ORGANIZATION, HIRING AND AUDIT PROCEDURES TO INCREASE GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY.

SB 746 (2025) aims to improve state government efficiency by revising how agencies operate, hire staff, and handle audits. It requires state agencies to submit detailed vacancy reports after eight months, provide organizational charts, and report on staff levels. The bill transfers hiring responsibility from the Department of Administrative Services to individual agencies and mandates public hearings on audit reports. It also reestablishes two oversight committees and increases criminal penalties for certain ethical violations by state employees. These changes directly affect all state agencies and their administrative processes.
