Explanation
The bill (1) makes changes to executive branch data sharing and
management, (2) makes changes to public record requests under the
Freedom of Information Act, and (3) requires the Office of Policy and
Management (OPM) to approve a proposed purchase between the town
of Windham and Eastern Connecticut State University (ECSU). This
results in a revenue gain to Windham, a cost to ECSU beginning in FY
24, and a potential cost to OPM beginning in FY 26.
The bill requires OPM to approve the sale of property by the town of 2023SB-01186-R000629-FN.DOCX Page 2 of 2
Windham to ECSU by July 1, 2023. This results in a cost to ECSU to
purchase and maintain the property beginning in FY 24 and a
corresponding revenue gain to the town of Windham for the sale of the
property. There is also a potential cost to OPM and corresponding
potential revenue gain to the town of Windham beginning in FY 26 to
the extent this increases Windham's PILOT grant payment.
There is no anticipated fiscal impact associated with the changes to
executive branch data sharing and management and the changes to
public record requests under the Freedom of Information Act as
agencies have the resources available to carry out these changes.
The Out Years
The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would
continue into the future subject to inflation.
