  • Legislative committees to hold hearing on state police ticket audit (CT News Junkie, 7/19/2023)
    • Two legislative committees in Connecticut have scheduled a hearing to question State Police officials regarding an audit that revealed potential falsification of tens of thousands of traffic records submitted to a state panel on racial profiling trends. The audit, covering data from 2014 to 2021, found over 25,000 instances where troopers reported issuing tickets with no corresponding records in the state Centralized Infractions Bureau. Lawmakers plan to discuss a possible legislative response to the findings and explore solutions to ensure equitable treatment for all Connecticut drivers. The audit’s release was prompted by a media report investigating troopers’ falsification of traffic ticket records in 2018. While the audit did not determine intent, it highlighted systemic misreporting of infractions, which distorted efforts to identify racial profiling trends.

  • State Agriculture Department failed to post over 100 meetings, audit finds (CT Examiner, 8/14/2023)
    • A state audit report revealed that the Connecticut Department of Agriculture failed to post required notices for more than 100 meetings of its boards and commissions in the past four years. Although the department claims to have rectified the issue since January 1, the audit also highlighted the absence of meeting minutes for five boards, councils, and working groups, with questions arising about their activity and compliance with state law. The audit emphasized the need for administrative oversight to ensure adherence to Freedom of Information Act requirements and suggested legislative changes if statutes are deemed impractical or outdated.
  • State subcommittee strives to support girls in juvenile justice system (Yale Daily News, 9/5/2024)
    • A Connecticut state subcommittee is working to improve support for girls in the juvenile justice system, focusing on victims of sex trafficking and abuse. The group aims to create gender-responsive policies and enhance data collection, but some criticize the narrow focus on girls, noting that male trafficking survivors are often overlooked. The committee’s work will inform future legislative recommendations on trauma-informed care for youth in the justice system.
  • Audit finds CT has made little progress to correct problems at assisted living facilities (ctpost, 10/6/2024)
    • A recent audit of Connecticut’s assisted living facilities revealed that the state has made little progress in addressing critical issues identified in 2021. Out of 22 recommendations, only one has been fully implemented, with others either partially implemented or unaddressed, including fire inspections, criminal background checks, and outdated procedures. The Department of Public Health cited staffing shortages and regulatory challenges as reasons for the delays, with plans to address some issues in 2024.
      • Read the audit
  • New legislative committee to focus on government efficiencies and waste (NBC Connecticut, 1/1/2025)
    • Connecticut lawmakers are establishing a Government Oversight Committee to enhance scrutiny of state agencies. This initiative aims to address concerns of existing committees, such as the Government Administration and Elections Committee, that are too occupied with legislative matters to effectively oversee. The new committee will prioritize examining recent audits that have uncovered problems like improper state vehicle usage and overpayments to employees.
