TO THE HEADS OF ALL STATE AGENCIES

Subject: New Procedure for the Refund of Revenue
I. AUTHORITY
Section 4-37 of the Connecticut General Statutes provides that refunds of payments are to be paid from the fund to which the original payment is credited.
II. PURPOSE
To establish and disseminate a policy regarding the proper use of refunds paid from the OSCIR business unit.
III. REFUND PROCEDURES
Effective July 1, 2014, refund items must be recorded as a reduction of revenue against the fund into which the revenue was deposited.
