(b)(1) Each contract described in subsection (a) of this section shall include a representation whether any consulting agreement has been entered into in connection with any such contract. Such representation shall be required if any duties of the consultant included communications concerning business of a state or quasi-public agency, whether or not direct contact with a state agency, state or public official or state employee was expected or made.

(2) Such representation shall be made to the best knowledge and belief of the person signing the contract and shall be subject to the penalty of false statement as provided in section 53a-157b.
