There is a newer version of the Connecticut General Statutes
2009 Connecticut Code
Title 16 Public Service Companies
Chapter 277 Department Of Public Utility Control. Office Of Consumer Counsel. Miscellaneous Provisions
Sec. 16-32a. Filing re procurement practices. Public hearing. Regulations re competitive bidding.
Sec. 16-32a. Filing re procurement practices. Public hearing. Regulations re
competitive bidding. The Department of Public Utility Control shall by regulation
require public service companies to file statements of their procurement policies and
practices whenever there is a material change to such policies or practices. Where, after
investigation, the department determines that competitive bidding seems likely to reduce
procurement costs without impairing quality, continuity or dependability of service or
the ability to respond to emergencies, the department may, after notice and public hearing, establish such regulations as it deems necessary to provide for competitive bidding
in appropriate cases, but only if the contract price exceeds fifty thousand dollars in each
such case.(P.A. 75-486, S. 12, 69; P.A. 77-614, S. 162, 610; P.A. 80-482, S. 70, 348; P.A. 98-121, S. 1.)
History: P.A. 77-614 replaced public utilities control authority with division of public utility control within the department of business regulation, effective January 1, 1979; P.A. 80-482 made division of public utility control an independent department and deleted reference to abolished department of business regulation; P.A. 98-121 inserted "whenever there is a material change to such policies or practices".
