Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies


Sec. 46a-68-66. Letters of commitment; monitoring

(a) If the commission identifies, under the standards announced in Sections 46a-68-31 through 46a-68-74, inclusive, any portion of an agency affirmative action plan or program as deficient for failing to comply in all particulars with the requirements of Section 46a-68 of the Connecticut General Statutes, as amended by Section 12 of Public Act 83-569, or Sections 46a-68-31 through 46a-68-74, inclusive, the agency shall, within thirty (30) days from the date notice of the commission action is received, accept or reject the commission's proposals to achieve compliance therewith.

(b) In the event that an agency refuses to adopt the proposals contained in the commission review, the commission may meet with the agency and attempt to resolve any outstanding differences to the mutual satisfaction of the parties. Any agreement reached at such meeting between an agency and the commission shall be in writing and signed by the agency appointing authority and affirmative action officer and accepted by a representative of the commission.

(c) The staff of the commission shall closely monitor the agency's efforts to attain the goals contained in the letter of commitment and shall report any agency which fails to comply with its letter of commitment to the commission and the governor. Absent good cause shown, failure to honor, implement, or achieve the terms of a letter of commitment shall be viewed as a failure to cooperate with the commission.

(Effective September 21, 1984)
