Connecticut Public Records
State Level Information
The Connecticut Freedom of Information Act was first enacted in 1975 to serve as a series of laws to guarantee the public access to the public records of government offices in the state of Connecticut. It is defined by Statues 1-200 through 1-259 and states in part:
"'Public records or files' means any recorded data or information relating to the conduct of the public's business prepared, owned, used, received or retained by a public agency, or to which a public agency is entitled to receive a copy by law or contract under section 1-218, whether such data or information be handwritten, typed, tape-recorded, printed, photostated, photographed or recorded by any other method."
It is not required that you be a citizen of the state to request public documents in Connecticut.
