Hartford – Gov. Dannel P. Malloy recently signed legislation into law that will require all state agencies' regulations to be published on the Internet starting in July 2013.

Regulations are currently required to be published only in the Connecticut Law Journal. Under the new law, the regulations must also be posted on agencies' websites and the website of the Secretary of the State.

"To put it simply, it's unacceptable that many state regulations are not available electronically," Malloy said in a statement. "As I've said numerous times since I took office last year, Connecticut has lagged behind for too long when it comes to utilizing modern technology. Transitioning the services of state government into the Information Age must be a top priority."

The bill passed both chambers of the state legislature with unanimous votes. Malloy signed the bill Friday. (Editor's note: This corrects the date of the signing, which was incorrect in an earlier version of this article.)
