AN ACT CONCERNING THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS AND A REPORT OF UNEXPENDED BOND PROCEEDS.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:

Section 1. Section 3-21d of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective October 1, 2010):

The chief administrative officer of the department, institution or agency of the state responsible for any public works construction project administered by the Department of Public Works under section 4b-1, with an estimated cost of more than ten thousand dollars and receiving any portion of its funding from the proceeds of bonds issued under the State General Obligation Bond Procedure Act, shall file a report with the secretary of the State Bond Commission [forthwith] upon completion or acceptance of any such construction project, and in no event later than ninety days [thereafter] after such completion or acceptance, which report shall provide the following information: (1) The estimated total cost of the construction project, or the actual amount of the project, if ascertainable; (2) the amount, if any, required to be held in retainage and the reason for such retainage; and (3) the amount of any bonds authorized by the State Bond Commission and allotted by the Governor to such project which remains unexpended. Such report may contain a recommendation to the secretary as to the further use of any portion of such unexpended bond proceeds, which recommendation may, in the discretion of the secretary and the Governor, be referred to the next regular session of the General Assembly. Absent such recommendation and referral to the General Assembly, the State Bond Commission may authorize an unexpended amount to be transferred in accordance with the provisions of subsection (q) of section 3-20 or section 3-21b or the secretary may, prior to any such transfer, authorize the expenditure of such amount for any emergency purpose approved in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of section 4b-52. The chief administrative officer of the department, institution or agency of the state shall also file a report, in accordance with the provisions of section 11-4a, with the cochairpersons of the joint standing committee of the General Assembly having cognizance of matters relating to finance, revenue and bonding on or before January 1, 2002, and each year thereafter, on any such projects which have been reported to the secretary of the State Bond Commission.

This act shall take effect as follows and shall amend the following sections:
