The commissioner may, by regulation adopted in accordance with chapter 54, prescribe periods of time for the retention of records of any Connecticut bank or Connecticut credit union. Records which have been retained for the period so prescribed may thereafter be destroyed, and no liability shall thereby accrue against the Connecticut bank or Connecticut credit union destroying them. In any cause or proceeding in which any such records may be called in question or be demanded of any such bank or credit union or any officer or employee thereof, a showing that the period so prescribed has elapsed shall be sufficient excuse for failure to produce them.

History: P.A. 77-614 replaced bank commissioner with banking commissioner, effective January 1, 1979; (Revisor's note: Pursuant to P.A. 87-9 “banking commissioner” was changed editorially by the Revisors to “commissioner of banking”); P.A. 94-122 made technical changes, effective January 1, 1995; Sec. 36-2a transferred to Sec. 36a-40 in 1995.
Trial court's reliance on section, in conjunction with Sec. 36a-40-3 of the regulations of Connecticut state agencies, did not improperly transform section into a judicially imposed statute of limitations immunizing defendant from any nonpayment claim brought after 7-year retention period. 297 C. 501.
