AN ACT CONCERNING AUDIT OF THE STATE'S TELECOMMUNICATIONS EXPENSES AND CERTAIN FILINGS WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC UTILITY CONTROL.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:
Section 1. Subsection (c) of section 2-90 of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):
(c) (1) Said auditors shall audit, on a biennial basis if deemed most economical and efficient, or as frequently as they deem necessary, the books and accounts of each officer, department, commission, board and court of the state government, all institutions supported by the state and all public and quasi-public bodies, politic and corporate, created by public or special act of the General Assembly and not required to be audited or subject to reporting requirements, under the provisions of chapter 111. Each such audit may include an examination of performance in order to determine effectiveness in achieving expressed legislative purposes. The auditors shall report their findings and recommendations to the Governor, the State Comptroller, the joint standing committee of the General Assembly having cognizance of matters relating to appropriations and the budgets of state agencies, and the Legislative Program Review and Investigations Committee.
(2) For the audit of the Department of Information Technology conducted on or after the effective date of this section, said auditors shall include an audit of the state's telecommunications expenses and recommendations to reduce such expenses.
Sec. 2. (NEW) (Effective July 1, 2010) The date and time of filing of each document by a telephone company or its affiliate with the Department of Public Utility Control shall be the date and time by which the department first receives a complete electronic or paper version of such document, provided such electronic or paper version is properly filed. If payment of a fee is required to accompany such document, the department shall not deem a document to be filed until the department receives the fee. If a document is electronically submitted outside of the department's normal business hours, the department shall deem the document to be filed at the time the department's offices next open. The department shall not require paper versions of electronic filings to be filed, except (1) at the request of the department, three paper copies shall be sent to the department via regular first class United States mail, and (2) at the request of any party or intervenor in a specific department docket who does not have computer access, the department may request one paper copy be sent to such party or intervenor via first class United States mail.
