GLOGood Lookin’ Out

Connecticut regulations: details

Copied from the state’s website on September 21–22, 2026. Check the official page before you rely on a rule.

What is here

21,885 entries from the 1,773 subject pages the Secretary of the State lists, across 63 titles. Every page loaded.
The state says this database is not an official legal edition. The official version is the printed Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies as amended by final regulations in the Connecticut Law Journal, and the printed text controls.
17,786 entries carry text. 4,099 are headings the page prints with nothing under them; they come back saying so.
Numbered ranges (“Sec. 10-102-1—10-102-22. (Repealed)”) are kept as ranges. Looking up a number inside one returns the range, marked as such.
Each entry carries its subject’s LastActionDate as the page gives it. It is not a statement that the rule is current. The date on each entry is the day we copied it.

How we checked it

Two programs written separately read all 1,773 pages and agreed exactly on the text of all 17,786 entries that carry it.
We drew entries at random under a plan frozen before the test. The result was MIXED: every check passed except the one on tables.
150 plain sections were compared against the state’s own PDF of each section. 142 matched, 7 PDFs would not load, and the one miss was our PDF reader, not the text.
50 sections with tables were compared the same way, and 14 did not match. In every one, the text we hold equals the state’s web page. The web table and the PDF lay the table out differently, and in two sections they differ in content.
A person read 150 entries against their pages and found 1 wrong: a reserved range stored as a single section. That form (11 entries) is now shown as a range. At that sample size the true error rate could still be as high as 3.7%.

What it can't tell you

Whether a rule is current, valid or in force.
Whether the web text matches the printed, official regulations.
For a table, whether the web page or the state’s PDF is right.

Known gaps

423 entries contain tables, stored one cell per line as the web page prints them. The state’s PDF can lay a table out differently and, in a few, differs in content.
100 entries contain images we do not copy.
In 14 entries a superscript or subscript number is joined to the number before it (10⁵ is stored as 105). Those entries say so.
8 headings print their number in a form we do not read (such as “19-293-1 to 19-293-6”). Search finds them; lookup by number does not.
11 ranges are printed in forms we cannot look inside, so a number within them is not looked up. Search still finds them.
60 entries are longer than 40,000 characters and come back cut off, marked as cut off.
We took one page every two seconds under a name that identifies GLO.

Notes you may see on an entry

4,099 headings with nothing under them: “No text. The page prints this heading with nothing under it.”
423 entries with tables: “Table shown as the web page prints it; the state’s PDF can lay it out differently and, in a few tables, differs in content.”
100 entries with images: “This section includes an image that is not in the text.”
14 entries with superscripts: “Superscripts and subscripts show here as plain digits (10⁵ reads as 105). Check the official text for exact figures.”
11 reserved ranges printed in an unusual form: “Printed as a reserved range in an unusual form; shown as a range.”
8 headings with an unread number: “The section number is printed in a form GLO does not parse, so a lookup by number does not reach this row.”
14-80-1a: “The publisher prints 14-80-1a twice; this one sits under 14-80a. Shown as printed.”
A number inside a printed range: “No section is printed with this number; the range it falls in is returned instead.”
A lookup of C.G.S.: “That is Connecticut statute law, not the regulations. The lookup says so rather than returning nothing.”
A lookup of a subject number: “A subject such as 22a-174 holds many sections. The lookup says so and names a section to try, rather than returning nothing.”
