• State of Connecticut passes the Uniform Electronic Legal Material Act (UELMA) Public Act 13-17 on May 7, 2013.
• State Librarian, Office of Public Records Administrator (OPRA) and State Archives staff participate in a discussion with Governor’s (OTG) and Secretary of the State (SOTS) staff on making the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies completely electronic throughout 2013-2014.
• UELMA requires preservation of the record “in an electronic form or a form that is not electronic.”
• SOTS eRegs and State Library based on retention and historical significance that State Archives should preserve a copy and that the public should use the eRegs web portal which is the official record.
Electronic Regulations (eRegs)

• State Library staff determined in collaboration with CTDA staff that these should be preserved in the repository, we should automate as much as possible as a model to expand in the future, that we would only guarantee to bitstream preservation without any forward migration or viewer capability for DITA xml files.
• eRegs uses IBM FileNet object store to manage documents, the administrator in intervals publishes regulations which can include pdf, tif, dita, etc, these are zipped up, and then pushed to a FTP watch folder.
• CTDA repository monitors FTP, metadata included is mapped to MODS, and then as long as the State Library has created the folder and provided the PID to CTDA staff the files automatically ingest into the repository.
