The Legislative Program Review and Investigations Committee is a joint, bipartisan, statutory committee of the Connecticut General Assembly. It was established in 1972 to evaluate the efficiency, effectiveness, and statutory compliance of selected state agencies and programs, recommending remedies where needed. In 1975, the General Assembly expanded the Committee's function to include investigations. The Committee was given authority to raise and report bills in 1985. Specifically, the Committee conducts performance audits, management reviews, and policy studies of State Agencies and programs. The agenda is set by a majority vote of the full Committee. The Program Review Committee is composed of 12 legislators. The President Pro Tempore of the Senate, the Senate Minority Leader, the Speaker of the House, and the House Minority Leader each appoint three members. The Committee is served by a 12 person nonpartisan staff office. |
