Connecticut General Statutes Title 4. Management of State Agencies § 4-33. Deposit of public money and trust funds

(a) Any person, with the approval of the Treasurer and the Comptroller, may deposit any funds or moneys in such person's hands belonging to the state or held by such person as a custodian or trustee or in an official capacity, in any qualified public depository, as defined in section 36a-330, or any bank authorized pursuant to section 3-24, provided such deposit shall only be made in such person's name as an official of the state, custodian or trustee or in the name of the state. In no case shall the deposit by such person in any one such qualified public depository or bank exceed in the aggregate at any one time seventy-five per cent of the total capital of such depository or bank, as determined in accordance with applicable federal regulations and regulations adopted by the Banking Commissioner under section 36a-332, provided: (1) Any such qualified public depository or bank is required to disclose such information relating to public deposits as the Banking Commissioner may require by regulations which the Banking Commissioner shall adopt in accordance with the provisions of chapter 54. 1 The regulations shall include, but not be limited to, disclosure of the most current quarterly statement of condition and statement of income; and (2) whatever interest or other pecuniary consideration such depository or bank allows for or upon such deposit or payment shall belong to and accrue to the benefit of the state.

(b) On or before September first of each year, each person who deposits funds or moneys in an account under subsection (a) of this section shall submit to the Treasurer and the Comptroller, on a form provided by the Treasurer, a list of all such accounts, as of the preceding June thirtieth.

(c) If the laws of this state have, in all other respects, been complied with, any person acting on behalf of, or as custodian or trustee for, the state, who deposits public funds in any depository, shall, because of failure, insolvency, receivership, forced closing or restricted operation of such depository, or a bank and credit union holiday or banking emergency proclaimed under the provisions of the laws of the United States or of this state, be relieved of personal responsibility for public funds so deposited and the surety or sureties upon the bond of such person shall be likewise relieved to the same extent as such person. The provisions of this section shall not be construed to relieve any such person or such person's surety or sureties from the obligation to account for the whole or such part of public funds so deposited as and when the same may be obtained by such person from such depository.
