When a Meeting Is Public
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 1-225 — open meetings, votes in writing within 48 hours, minutes within seven days
The meetings of all public agencies are open to the public, except executive sessions as the act defines them.
Who handles this in Connecticut: legal aid programs and the state offices, listed in the Connecticut directory.
- Each member's vote on any issue is put in writing and made available for public inspection within forty eight hours, and recorded in the minutes.
- The minutes are available for inspection not later than seven days after the session, and posted on the agency's website where it has one, except that a town's agencies need not post them.
- State agencies file their schedule of regular meetings each year with the Secretary of the State.
