§ 3-20d — Requirements for issuance of tax-exempt obligations by agents of state government.

No state officer, employee, agency, board or commission, or any agent thereof, shall incur, for any purpose, any obligation, by order, contract, lease purchase, installment purchase or any other means, which anticipates that any gain therefrom or interest payable thereon by the state or such officer, employee, agency, board or commission, or agent thereof, shall be excludable from the taxable income of the recipient of such payments for the purposes of federal or state income taxation unless, prior to the execution of any such obligation by or on behalf of the state or such officer, employee, agency, board, commission or agent, (1) such officer, employee, agency, board or commission, or the agent thereof, has filed with the Treasurer, and the Treasurer has approved, documents relating to the transaction which support the availability of such tax exclusion and which set forth such monitoring procedures as may be necessary to ensure compliance with any requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as from time to time amended, or any subsequent corresponding internal revenue code of the United States, related to the tax-exempt status of such obligation, and (2) such obligation contains a certificate from the Treasurer to the effect that the documents required to be filed with and approved by the Treasurer pursuant to this section have been so filed and approved and that any monitoring procedures which may be necessary to ensure compliance with any requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as from time to time amended, or any subsequent corresponding internal revenue code of the United States, related to the tax-exempt status of such obligation, have been implemented. Any such obligation which does not contain such a certificate shall not be considered an obligation of the state of Connecticut or of any officer, employee, agency, board or commission thereof, or any agent thereof, for any purpose relating to the exclusion of such obligation, or any gain therefrom or interest thereon, from the taxable income of the recipient for the purposes of federal or state income taxation. For the purposes of this section, “state officer, employee, agency, board or commission, or any agent thereof”, shall include The University of Connecticut Health Center Finance Corporation or any similar organization.
