There is a newer version of the Connecticut General Statutes
2009 Connecticut Code
Title 1 Provisions of General Application
Chapter 3 Public Records: General Provisions
Sec. 1-14. "Certified copy" defined. Evidence.
Sec. 1-14. "Certified copy" defined. Evidence. When the term "certified copy"
is used in any statute relating to any recording agency, such term shall be construed to
include a certified reproduction of the image or images of such books, records, papers
or documents, which is proportional in size to the original. Each process used for such
reproductions shall be subject to the approval of the Public Records Administrator. Any
such reproduced record or any such certified copy may be admitted in evidence with
the same effect as the original thereof, and shall be prima facie evidence of the facts set
forth therein.(1949 Rev., S. 8886; February, 1965, P.A. 29; P.A. 97-89, S. 3.)
History: 1965 act allowed reproduction to vary in size from original; P.A. 97-89 redefined "certified copy" to delete provisions limiting definition to photographic reproductions.
See Sec. 11-8(b) re appointment of Public Records Administrator.
