2005 Connecticut Code - Sec. 54-142h. Data collection; audit; maintenance of records and log.
Sec. 54-142h. Data collection; audit; maintenance of records and log. (a) All
criminal justice agencies that collect, store or disseminate criminal history record information shall institute a process of data collection, entry, storage and systematic audit
that will minimize the possibility of recording and storing inaccurate criminal history
record information, and shall notify, upon the discovery of any such inaccuracy, all
criminal justice agencies known to have received such information. The Division of
Criminal Justice may give advice to criminal justice agencies concerning the collection,
storage and dissemination of criminal history record information, provided the giving
of such advice shall not interfere with the duties or supersede the authority of the state
librarian or public records administrator with respect to public records.
(c) Criminal justice agencies subject to such audits shall maintain and retain records that will facilitate such audits, including, but not limited to, the keeping of a log which chronologically records the date nonconviction record information was disclosed, the information disclosed, how or where the information was obtained and the person or criminal justice agency to whom the information was disseminated. Such log shall be maintained for a minimum period of twelve months. It shall not be necessary to log the disclosure of nonconviction record information to any authorized officer or employee within such agency.
