Further, you are not required to disclose any arrest(s), criminal charge(s) or conviction(s), the record(s) of which have been erased under law. Such records can include records pertaining to a finding of delinquency or that a child was a member of a family with service needs (Connecticut General Statutes Sec. 46b-146), an adjudication of a youthful offender (Connecticut General Statues Sec. 54-76o) or a criminal charge that has been dismissed or nulled, a criminal charge for which the person has been found not guilty or a conviction for which the person received an absolute pardon (Conn. Gen. Stat. Sec. 54-142a).

Further, any person whose criminal records have been erased is deemed under law never to have been arrested with respect to such erased proceedings and may so swear under oath.
