      History: P.A. 87-586 added Subsec. (b) requiring the secretary of the office of policy and management to submit to the
committee on finance, revenue and bonding certain information, in addition to that required under Subsec. (a), related to
distribution of benefits and to be outlined in accordance with the schedules of benefits in each of the subdivisions in said
Subsec. (b); P.A. 88-5 amended Subsec. (a) by substituting March first for February first as the annual deadline for submission of report; (Revisor's note: During the preparation of the 2001 edition of the general statutes some erroneous figures
were inadvertently included at the end of the schedule in Subsec. (b)(2) under both "Married Renters" and "Unmarried
Renters". The Revisors have editorially corrected the errors so that said schedule is now correct and reads as enacted in
public act 87-586).
