Change to CT General Statutes (CGS 4-98) from Public Act 25-156 Purchasing Card Program Updates 

The State of Connecticut Purchasing Card (P-Card) Program Manual has been updated to reflect new statutory requirements in accordance with Public Act 25-156 (effective 10/01/2025).

• Annual Reporting 
• Digitization of all receipts, reports, or other supporting documentation 
• Uploading digitized records to Core-CT or other applicable financial system of record
• Agency P-Card Coordinator designation and responsibilities
