HB 6327 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT REQUIRING THE SECRETARY OF THE OFFICE OF POLICY AND MANAGEMENT TO SUBMIT AN ANNUAL REPORT CONCERNING STATE CONTRACTS AWARDED TO OUT-OF-STATE BUSINESSES.

HB 6327 requires Connecticut state agencies to annually report contracts awarded to businesses based outside Connecticut (nonresident businesses) by December 1 each year. Agencies must detail each such contract, including whether local businesses bid and the justification for selecting an out-of-state vendor. The Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management will compile these reports into a single annual summary for the legislature by January 1 each year, starting in 2026. This law directly affects all state agencies that award contracts and aims to provide transparency about state spending on out-of-state vendors.
