The Index to Connecticut Special Acts, 1944-2008 is now available online. Kudos to Indexer Cheryl Fox for this major accomplishment!
Together with the recently released General Index to the Private Laws and Special Acts of the State of Connecticut, 1789-1943
legal researchers and historians now have access to 220 years of Connecticut legislation not included in the General Statutes.
Both indexes are also linked from the State Library’s Public and Special Acts page.

A General Index to the Private Laws and Special Acts of the State of Connecticut, 1789-1943
This large PDF file allows online indexing for the first time to a valuable and hard to find area of Connecticut law and history. Special Acts and Private Laws are enactments of the Connecticut Legislature that never got codified into the General Statutes, but carry the same force of law. They include such things as town charters and amendments, establishments of corporations and nonprofit organizations, and individual petitions for damages or divorces.
The Index is also linked from its entry in the Connecticut State Library catalog.
