Sec. 1-19. Access to public records. Exempt records
(a) Except as otherwise provided by any federal law or state
statute, all records maintained or kept on file by any public
agency, whether or not such records are required by any law or by
any rule or regulation, shall be public records and every person
shall have the right to inspect such records promptly during
regular office or business hours or to receive a copy of such
records in accordance with the provisions of section 1-15. Any
agency rule or regulation, or part thereof, that conflicts with the
provisions of this subsection or diminishes or curtails in
any way the rights granted by this subsection shall be void. Each
such agency shall keep and maintain all public records in its
custody at its regular office or place of business in an accessible
place and, if there is no such office or place of business, the
public records pertaining to such agency shall be kept in the
office of the clerk of the political subdivision in which such
public agency is located or of the secretary of the state, as the
case may be. Any certified record hereunder attested as a true
copy by the clerk, chief or deputy of such agency or by such other
person designated or empowered by law to so act, shall be competent
evidence in any court of this state of the facts contained therein.
Each such agency shall make, keep and maintain a record of the
proceedings of its meetings.
(b) Nothing in sections 1-15, 1-18a, 1-19 to 1-19b, inclusive,

disclosure of (1) preliminary drafts or notes provided the public
agency has determined that the public interest in withholding such
documents clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure; (2)
personnel or medical files and similar files the disclosure of
which would constitute an invasion of personal privacy; (3) records
of law enforcement agencies not otherwise available to the public
which records were compiled in connection with the detection or
investigation of crime, if the disclosure of said records would not
be in the public interest because it
would result in the disclosure of (A)
the identity of informants not otherwise known, (B) information to
be used in a prospective law enforcement action if prejudicial to
such action, (C) investigatory techniques not otherwise known to
the general public, (D) arrest records of a juvenile, which shall
also include any investigatory files, concerning the arrest of such
juvenile, compiled for law enforcement purposes, (E) the name and
address of the victim of a sexual assault under section 53a-70,

injury, or impairing of morals under section 53-21, or of an
attempt thereof or (F) uncorroborated allegations subject to
destruction pursuant to section 1-20c; (4) records pertaining to
strategy and negotiations with respect to pending claims or pending
litigation to which the public agency is a party until such
litigation or claim has been finally adjudicated or otherwise
settled; (5) trade secrets, which for purposes of sections 1-15,
1-18a, 1-19 to 1-19b, inclusive, and 1-21 to 1-21K, inclusive, are
defined as unpatented, secret, commercially valuable plans,
appliances, formulas, or processes, which are used for the making,
preparing, compounding, treating or processing of articles or
materials which are trade commodities obtained from a person and
which are recognized by law as confidential, and commercial or
financial information given in confidence, not required by statute;
(6) test questions, scoring keys and other examination data used to
administer a licensing examination, examination for employment or
academic examinations; (7) the contents of real estate appraisals,
engineering or feasibility estimates
and evaluations made for or by an
agency relative to the acquisition of property or to prospective
public supply and construction contracts, until such time as all of
the property has been acquired or all proceedings or transactions
have been terminated or abandoned, provided the law of eminent
domain shall not be affected by this provision; (8) statements of
personal worth or personal financial data required by a licensing
agency and filed by an applicant with such licensing agency to
establish his personal qualification for the license, certificate
or permit applied for; (9) records, reports and statements of
strategy or negotiations with respect to collective bargaining;
(10) records, tax returns, reports and statements exempted by
federal law or state statutes or communications privileged by the
attorney-client relationship; (11) names or addresses of students
enrolled in any public school or college without the consent of
each student whose name or address is to be disclosed who is
eighteen years of age or older and a parent or guardian of each
such student who is younger than eighteen years of age, provided
this subdivision shall not be construed as prohibiting the
disclosure of the names or addresses of students enrolled in any
public school in a regional school district to the board of
selectmen or town board of finance, as the case may be, of the town
wherein the student resides for the purpose of verifying tuition
payments made to such school; (12) any information obtained by the
use of illegal means; (13) records of an investigation or the name
of an employee providing information under the provisions of
section 4-61dd; (14) adoption records and information provided
for in sections 45a-746 and 45a-750;

referendum petition, or petition for a town meeting submitted under
any provision of the general statutes or of any special act,
municipal charter or ordinance, until the required processing and
certification of such page has been completed by the official or
officials charged with such duty after which time disclosure of
such page shall be required.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision (1) of
subsection (b) of this section, disclosure shall be required of (1)
interagency or intra-agency memoranda or letters, advisory
opinions, recommendations or any report comprising part of the
process by which governmental decisions and policies are
formulated, except disclosure shall not be required of a
preliminary draft of a memorandum, prepared by a member of the
staff of a public agency, which is subject to revision prior to
submission to or discussion among the members of such agency, (2)
all records of investigation conducted with respect to any tenement
house, lodging house or boarding house as defined in section

housing code inspection department, any local or district health
department, or any other department charged with the enforcement of
ordinances or laws regulating the erection, construction,
alteration, maintenance, sanitation, ventilation or occupancy of
such buildings, and (3) the names of firms obtaining bid documents
from any state agency.

Sec. 1-21. Meetings of government agencies to be public. Recording
of votes. Schedule and agenda of meetings to be filed. Notice of
special meetings. Executive sessions
(a) The meetings of all public agencies, except executive
sessions as defined in subsection (e) of section 1-18a, shall be
open to the public. The votes of each member of any such public
agency upon any issue before such public agency shall be reduced to
writing and made available for public inspection within forty-eight
hours and shall also be recorded in the minutes of the session at
which taken, which minutes shall be
available for public inspection within seven days of the session to
which they refer. Each such public agency of the state shall file
not later than January thirty-first of each year in the office of
the secretary of the state the schedule of the regular meetings of
such public agency for the ensuing year, except that such provision
shall not apply to the general assembly, either house thereof or to
any committee thereof. Any other provision of sections 1-15,
1-18a, 1-19 to 1-19b, inclusive, and 1-21 to 1-21k, inclusive,
notwithstanding, the general assembly at the commencement of each
regular session in the odd-numbered years, shall adopt, as part of
its joint rules, rules to provide notice to the public of its
regular, special, emergency or interim committee meetings. The
chairman or secretary of any such public agency of any political
subdivision of the state shall file, not later than January
thirty-first of each year, with the clerk of such subdivision the
schedule of regular meetings of such public agency for the ensuing
year, and no such meeting of any such public agency shall be held
sooner than thirty days after such schedule has been filed. The
chief executive officer of any multitown district or agency shall
file, not later than January thirty-first of each year, with the
clerk of each municipal member of such district or agency, the
schedule of regular meetings of such public agency for the ensuing
year, and no such meeting of any such public agency shall be held
sooner than thirty days after such schedule has been filed. The
agenda of the regular meetings of every public agency, except for
the general assembly, shall be available to the
public and shall be filed, not less
than twenty-four hours before the meetings to which they refer, in
such agency's regular office or place of business or, if there is
no such office or place of business, in the office of the secretary
of the state for any such public agency of the state, in the
office of the clerk of such subdivision for any public agency of a
political subdivision of the state or in the office of the clerk of
each municipal member of any multitown district or agency. Upon
the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members of a public
agency present and voting, any subsequent business not included in
such filed agendas may be considered and acted upon at such
meetings. Notice of each special meeting of every public agency,
except for the general assembly, either house thereof or any
committee thereof, shall be given not less than twenty-four hours
prior to the time of such meeting by filing a notice of the time
and place thereof in the office of the secretary of the state for
any such public agency of the state, in the office of the clerk of
such subdivision for any public agency of a political subdivision
of the state and in the office of the clerk of each municipal
member for any multitown district or agency. The secretary or
clerk shall cause any notice received under this section to be
posted in his office. Such notice shall be given not less than
twenty-four hours prior to the time of the special meeting;
provided, in case of emergency, except for the general assembly,
either house thereof or any committee thereof, any such special
meeting may be held without complying with the foregoing
requirement for the filing of notice but a copy of the minutes of
every such emergency special meeting adequately setting forth the
nature of the emergency and the proceedings occurring at such
meeting shall be filed with the secretary of the state, the clerk
of such political subdivision, or the clerk of each municipal
member of such multitown district or agency, as the case may be,
not later than seventy-two hours following the holding of such
meeting. The notice shall specify the time and place of the
special meeting and the business to be transacted. No other
business shall be considered at such meetings by such public
agency. In addition, such written notice shall be delivered to the
usual place of abode of each member of the public agency so that
the same is received prior to such special meeting. The
requirement of delivery of such written notice may be dispensed
with as to any member who at or prior to the time the meeting
convenes files with the clerk or secretary of the public agency a
written waiver of delivery of such notice. Such waiver may be
given by telegram. The requirement of delivery of such written
notice may also be dispensed with as to any member who is actually
present at the meeting at the time it convenes. Nothing in this
section shall be construed to prohibit any agency from adopting
more stringent notice requirements. No member of the public shall
be required, as a condition to attendance at a meeting of any such
body, to register his name, or furnish other information, or
complete a questionnaire or otherwise fulfill any condition
precedent to his attendance. A public agency may hold an executive
session as defined in subsection (e) of section 1-18a, upon an
affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members of such
body present and voting, taken at a
public meeting and stating the reasons for such executive session,
as defined in said section.
(b) In determining the time within which or by when a notice,
agenda or other information is required to be given, made
available, posted or filed, under subsection (a), Saturdays,
Sundays, legal holidays and any day on which the office of the
agency, the secretary of the state or the clerk of the applicable
political subdivision or the clerk of each municipal member of any
multitown district or agency, as the case may be, is closed, shall
be excluded.

agenda is required to be given, deleting provisions in former
language, now Subsec. (a), made redundant by its inclusion and
adding provisions in Subsec. (a) requiring secretary or clerk to
post notice in his office and requiring that notice be given at
least twenty-four hours before time of special meeting; P.A.

Sec. 1-19a. Disclosure of computer-stored public records.
Contracts. Acquisition of system, equipment, software to store or
retrieve nonexempt public records
(a) Any public agency which maintains public records in a
computer storage system shall provide, to any person making a
request pursuant to this chapter, a copy of any nonexempt data
contained in such records, properly identified, on paper, disk,
tape or any other electronic storage device or medium requested by
the person, if the agency can reasonably make such copy or have
such copy made. Except as otherwise provided by state statute, the
cost for providing a copy of such data shall be in accordance with
the provisions of section 1-15.
(b) Except as otherwise provided by state statute, no public
agency shall enter into a contract with, or otherwise obligate
itself to, any person if such contract or obligation impairs the
right of the public under this chapter to inspect or copy the
agency's nonexempt public records existing on-line in, or stored on
a device or medium used in connection with, a computer system
owned, leased or otherwise used by the agency in the course of its
governmental functions.
(c) On and after July 1, 1992, before any public agency acquires
any computer system, equipment or software to store or retrieve
nonexempt public records, it shall consider whether such proposed
system, equipment or software adequately provides for the rights of
the public under this chapter at the least cost possible to the
agency and to persons entitled to access to nonexempt public
records under this chapter. In meeting its obligations under this
subsection, each state public agency shall consult with the office
of information and technology as part of the agency's design
analysis prior to acquiring any such computer system, equipment or
software. The office of information and technology shall adopt
written guidelines to assist municipal agencies in carrying out the
purposes of this subsection. Nothing in this subsection shall
require an agency to consult with said office prior to acquiring a
system, equipment or software or modifying software, if such
acquisition or modification is consistent with a design analysis
for which such agency has previously
Conn. Gen. Stat. @ 1-19a (1992)
consulted with said office. The office of information and
technology shall consult with the freedom of information commission
on matters relating to access to and disclosure of public records
for the purposes of this subsection. The provisions of this
subsection shall not apply to software modifications which would
not affect the rights of the public under this chapter.
