- Obligation: An order placed, contract awarded, service received, or similar transaction during a given period that will require payments during the same or a future period.
(b) The plan of funding CSCU 2020 shall be from the proceeds of general obligation bonds of the state in an amount authorized pursuant to subsection (a) of § 10a-91e. The proceeds of the general obligation bonds issued pursuant to § 10a-91e shall be deposited into the CSCU 2020 Fund.
(c) With respect to CSCU 2020 and within the authorized funding amount, the board of regents may, from time to time, and shall, whenever appropriate or necessary, revise, delete or add a particular project or projects, provided:
(1) A formal approving vote of the board of regents shall be needed for (A) a revision that deviates from the estimated costs of projects pursuant to subsection (a) of this section in an amount that is less than (i) ten per cent of such costs for a project with an estimated cost of one million dollars or lower, or (ii) five per cent of such costs for a project with an estimated cost of more than one million dollars, provided such change in the costs does not include changes in the costs of materials, (B) a deletion, or (C) an addition dictated by a change in system planning as determined by the board of regents or otherwise necessary because of reasons beyond the control of the system;
(2) Any revision shall be subject only to such formal approval of the board of regents as long as the board of regents finds and determines that such revision is consistent with the intent or purpose of the original project; and
(3) (A) A revision that deviates from the estimated costs of projects pursuant to subsection (a) of this section in an amount that is equal to or greater than (i) ten per cent of such costs for a project with an estimated cost of one million dollars or lower, or (ii) five per cent of such costs for a project with an estimated cost of more than one million dollars, provided such change in the costs does not include changes in the costs of materials, (B) an addition, or (C) a deletion, shall be conditioned not only upon such formal approval of the board of regents but also upon a request by the board of regents for, and enactment of, a subsequent public or special act approving (i) such addition or deletion, if such addition is to add a project not outlined in subsection (a) of this section or the deletion is the deletion of a project outlined in subsection (a) of this section, or (ii) such revision, except if such revision is due to the use of funds remaining from a completed project, then such revision shall be conditioned only upon such formal approval of the board of regents.
(4) Subject to the limitations in the authorized funding amount, the board of regents may determine the sequencing and timing of such project or projects, revise estimates of cost and reallocate from any amounts estimated in subsection (a) of this section, for one or more projects to one or more other projects then constituting a component of CSCU 2020 as long as, at the time of such reallocation, it has found that any such project to which a reallocation is made has been revised or added in accordance with this section and such project from which a reallocation is made either has been so revised or added and can be completed within the amounts remaining allocated to it, or has been so deleted. The board of regents’ actions under this section shall be included in reports to the Governor and the General Assembly under § 10a-91f. If the board of regents requests a revision, addition or deletion pursuant to subdivision (3) of this subsection, the board of regents shall submit such request to the Governor at the same time that the request is submitted to the General Assembly.
