Connecticut

Connecticut's FOIA is administered by the state FOI Commission and provides a strong right of access to government records along with an administrative appeal process.

In Connecticut, a single statute (the Connecticut FOIA, Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 1-200 to 1-242) governs both public records and open meetings. The open-meetings provisions are at §§ 1-225 to 1-232. The records provisions are at §§ 1-210 to 1-218 — see the Open Records section above for the full records framework.
