      Sec. 36b-78. (Formerly Sec. 36-520). Commissioner to keep register of applications. (a) A document is filed when it is received by the commissioner.

      (b) The commissioner shall keep a register of all applications for registration which are or have ever been effective under sections 36b-60 to 36b-80, inclusive, and all denial, suspension or revocation orders which have ever been entered under said sections. Such register shall be open for public inspection.

      (c) The information contained in or filed with any registration, application or report may be made available to the public under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act, as defined in section 1-200.

      (d) Upon request and at such charges as provided for in the Freedom of Information Act, as defined in section 1-200, the commissioner shall furnish to any person photostatic or other copies, certified under his seal of office if requested, of any entry in the register or any document which is a matter of public record. In any proceeding or prosecution under sections 36b-60 to 36b-80, inclusive, any copy so certified shall be prima facie evidence of the contents of the entry or document certified.

      (P.A. 79-458, S. 18, 19; P.A. 80-262, S. 8, 10; P.A. 97-22, S. 21; 97-47, S. 39.)

      History: P.A. 80-262 required that information be made public as prescribed by provisions of chapter 3 rather than "under such regulations as the commissioner prescribes" in Subsec. (c) and substituted charges provided for in chapter 3 for "reasonable" charges prescribed by commissioner in Subsec. (d); Sec. 36-520 transferred to Sec. 36b-78 in 1995; P.A. 97-22 made technical changes in Subsecs. (b) and (d); P.A. 97-47 substituted "the Freedom of Information Act, as defined in section 1-18a" for "chapter 3" in Subsecs. (c) and (d).
