About clearing a record in Connecticut

You can clear your Connecticut record. Connecticut law automatically erases certain misdemeanor, felony, and marijuana arrest records or convictions under the Clean Slate framework in Chapter 961a; where a record does not qualify for the automatic path, Conn. Gen. Stat. § 54-142a lets you petition for erasure, with a hearing possible.

Connecticut's Clean Slate framework under Chapter 961a automatically erases certain records as soon as they qualify, without requiring a petition.

Connecticut is working to automate every clearance path, with the goal of removing the petition requirement across all circumstances.
