Notice re:  P.A. 08-53, An Act Concerning the Release, Sale and Accuracy of Conviction Information

P.A. 08-53 was enacted by the Connecticut legislature during its 2008 session and went into effect on May 1, 2008. It establishes procedures that any consumer reporting agency, as defined in the act, that issues a report for employment purposes which includes criminal conviction information obtained from Connecticut, must follow. These procedures are designed to ensure that the criminal conviction information reported is complete and up-to-date as of the date that the report is issued. Any person or consumer reporting agency that has purchased criminal records from the Judicial Branch must purchase, on a monthly basis or on such other schedule that the Judicial Branch establishes, such updated records or information as are available. In addition, the consumer reporting agency must update its records to permanently delete any erased records prior to releasing any information  

If you wish to purchase updated criminal conviction information, from the Connecticut Judicial Branch, please contact James O’Connell by e-mail:  James.OConnell@jud.ct.gov.
