SB 1357 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING THE DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMER PROTECTION'S RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING VARIOUS STATUTES CONCERNING CONSUMER PROTECTION.

SB 1357 requires the Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) to review and make recommendations about existing consumer protection laws. It directly affects the DCP and the statutes it oversees, directing the agency to evaluate current regulations. The key mechanism is the DCP's formal review process, where it identifies laws needing updates or changes. This bill does not create new consumer protections but establishes a process for the DCP to propose modifications to existing statutes. It became law as Public Act 25-111 after the governor signed it on June 24, 2025.

MINOR
The bill page count was reduced from 81 to 76 pages, indicating a minor consolidation of text. A significant substantive change occurred in line 78, where the word 'For' was moved from the beginning of the sentence to after the subsection label, altering the sentence structure but not the core meaning. This change affects how the continuing professional education requirements are presented in the licensing renewal section.
TECHNICAL

Reordered sentence structure in subsection (e)(1) by moving the word 'For' to a different position, which is a formatting change rather than a substantive policy change.

Page count reduced from 81 to 76 pages, reflecting minor text consolidation without affecting the bill's substantive provisions.
