Senate Bill 134 (sSB134 File No. 70) is a legislative proposal that seeks to make minor and technical revisions to statutes concerning consumer protection, with an effective date of October 1, 2024. The bill includes changes such as updating the restrictions on the use of electronic nicotine or cannabis delivery systems in various settings, amending the requirements for sellers of residential real property regarding hazardous waste facility disclosures, revising the application process for home improvement business registration, and adjusting the fees payable to the guaranty fund by salesmen and contractors. It also mandates that homemaker-companion agencies provide a written contract or service plan to clients, which includes a person-centered plan of care and employee oversight details. The bill clarifies definitions related to wholesalers, manufacturers, and narcotics, and makes grammatical corrections to existing language.

Furthermore, the bill revises the process for identifying social equity applicants in a lottery system, updates the definition of "Criminal background screening," and outlines protocols for notifying residents and the Attorney General of Connecticut in the event of a security breach involving personal information. It specifies the requirements for providing identity theft prevention and mitigation services and the acceptable methods of notification to residents. The bill also allows entities with their own security breach procedures to be deemed in compliance with the notification requirements. The legislative commissioners have made changes for clarity, such as specifying that references to federal law include amendments over time. The fiscal impact statement indicates no expected fiscal impact, and the General Law Committee has given the bill a Joint Favorable report with a unanimous vote in favor.
