On Tuesday, he vetoed a bill that would have expanded the analysis state agencies would have to prepare before adopting regulations that affect small businesses. The bill had passed both the House and the Senate unanimously.
On Thursday, the first of two vetoes was a bill that would have expanded the power the Auditors of Public Accounts had over executive branch agencies and would have required agencies and quasi-public agencies to tell a legislative committee why they failed to notify the auditors of any lost funds or resources in a timely manner. Another portion of the bill would have limited the circumstances under which Malloy’s budget office would be able to waive the competitive bidding requirements for “personal service agreements.” The bill was passed unanimously by the House and the Senate.
