CT HB06606

Department of Correction must deliver data on incarcerated persons to the Secretary of State by July 1 in census years, including unique identifiers, facility addresses, pre-incarceration residential addresses, and demographic information, without disclosing names.

Secretary of State shall request similar information from federal facilities operating in the state that incarcerate persons convicted of criminal offenses.

Secretary of State adjusts decennial census population counts to attribute incarcerated persons to their last known residential address in Connecticut rather than to the correctional facility location.

For incarcerated persons with unknown or out-of-state residential addresses, population counts are adjusted to reflect an unknown location within the state and removed from facility location counts.

Adjusted data becomes the basis for determining state assembly and senatorial districts, prepared within 21 days of Census Bureau publication of redistricting data; Department of Correction must maintain electronic records of residential addresses for all persons committed after January 1, 2012.
