SB 250 requires a study of how quickly state agencies respond to Freedom of Information Act requests. We support this bill because government transparency depends on timely access to public records.
When residents, journalists, and researchers request public information, they should receive clear and predictable responses. However, response times can vary widely, with some requests taking weeks or even months. SB 250 directs the Office of Policy and Management to review agency response times, identify delays, and recommend improvements.
This bill does not create new penalties or mandates. Instead, it gathers data so lawmakers can understand where problems exist and make informed decisions. Strengthening transparency builds public trust and ensures agencies are accountable to the people they serve. SB 250 is a practical step toward improving open government in Connecticut.
