Sec. 4-80. Hearings on tentative budget. Upon the receipt by a Governor-elect
of the tentative budget provided for by section 4-79, he shall hold such hearings thereon
as may be requested by budgeted agencies or may be considered by him desirable. He
may require the attendance at such hearings of the heads and other officers of all budgeted
agencies and the giving by them of such explanations and suggestions as they are called
upon to give or as they desire to offer in respect to items of requested appropriations or
estimated revenue in which they are interested. The Secretary of the Office of Policy
and Management shall arrange a schedule of the time and place of such hearings to suit
the convenience of the Governor-elect and shall give notice thereof to the respective
budgeted agencies interested in such hearings. The secretary or his representative shall
attend all such hearings and shall give such advice and assistance to the Governor-elect
as that officer requests. The sum of twenty-five thousand dollars shall be made available
by the Comptroller from the unappropriated resources of the state General Fund to the
Governor-elect upon his request to the Comptroller. This sum may be used by him as he
deems proper and necessary to meet the expenses of transition prior to his inauguration.

expenses generally; P.A. 73-679 replaced director of budget with managing director, planning and budgeting division,
department of finance and control or his designee; P.A. 75-537 changed division name to budget and management division
and deleted references to designee; P.A. 77-614 replaced managing director with secretary of the office of policy and
management; P.A. 85-400 deleted references to governor to reflect change in Sec. 4-79 to require preparation of a tentative
