The Connecticut State Data Plan is a framework for the state's executive branch agencies to engage in a consistent approach to data stewardship, use, and access. It is beyond just an open data plan, applicable to all data in the custody and control of executive branch agencies, developed in accordance with Section 4-67p of the Connecticut General Statutes. The mission of the Connecticut State Data Plan is to connect the people and processes involved with data to promote communication between, and appropriate integration of, formerly siloed data, teams, and systems. The Plan was created to ensure that data are treated as State assets and managed consistently and appropriately across state government. The Chief Data Officer (CDO) position was established in 2018 in accordance with Section 4-67p of the Connecticut General Statutes. The CDO takes a leading role in operating the state's Open Data Portal.
