AN ACT CONCERNING A STUDY OF STATE AGENCY RESPONSE TIMES TO FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT REQUESTS.

SB 250 requires Connecticut's Office of Policy and Management to study how quickly state agencies respond to public records requests made under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The study must track average response times, document complaints about unreasonable delays, and include recommendations for improving timeliness. The Office must submit a report to the legislature's government oversight committee by January 15, 2027, detailing these findings. This bill does not change FOIA rules but aims to identify potential delays in public access to government records.
