Conn. Gen. Stat. § 46a-68c: Contractors required to file good faith efforts plan. Review and approval or disapproval of plan by executive director or designee. Resubmitted plans. Discriminatory practices. Reconsideration.

(a) In addition to the provisions of section 4a-60, each contractor awarded a public works contract of more than one hundred fifty thousand dollars, but not subject to the provisions of section 46a-68d, or a first-tier contractor who has entered into an agreement with a construction manager subject to the provisions of section 46a-68d, that is valued at one hundred fifty thousand dollars or more, shall develop and file a good faith efforts plan with the Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities, which shall comply with the regulations adopted by the commission. Any plan filed pursuant to this section shall be filed not later than forty-five days from the date the contract or agreement is awarded. The commission may grant one fifteen-day extension for such filing to a contractor upon the request of the contractor.

(b) The executive director or the executive director's designee shall review and formally approve, conditionally approve or disapprove the content of the good faith efforts plan not later than one hundred twenty days following the date of the submission of the plan to the commission. If the executive director or the executive director's designee fails to approve, conditionally approve or disapprove a plan within such one-hundred-twenty-day period, the plan shall be deemed to be either approved or deficient without consequence. If a plan is disapproved, the contractor shall have forty-five days from the notice of disapproval to resubmit an amended plan in order to remedy the reasons for disapproval. The executive director or the executive director's designee shall have thirty days to approve or disapprove the resubmitted plan. If the executive director or the executive director's designee fails to review the resubmitted plan within such thirty-day period, the plan shall be deemed deficient without consequence. If the contractor fails to resubmit a plan or to remedy the reasons for disapproval, the plan shall receive a final disapproval from the executive director or the executive director's designee.

(c) Any failure to submit a plan as required by this section or receipt of a final disapproval of a plan shall constitute a discriminatory practice, as defined in section 46a-51. Any contractor who has received a final disapproval may request reconsideration of the disapproval according to the procedures for reconsideration set forth in subsection (h) of section 46a-83.
