Senate Bill No. 1238, also known as Public Act No. 25-31, introduces several minor and technical revisions to statutes concerning consumer protection, effective October 1, 2025. Key changes include the repeal of subsection (l) of section 21a-226, which now allows the commissioner to prohibit health clubs from making payments to the Connecticut Health Club Guaranty Fund if they have engaged in unfair or deceptive trade practices within the past five years. The bill also stipulates that health clubs can request a hearing within fourteen days of receiving notice of such prohibition. Additionally, subdivision (8) of subsection (h) of section 21a-420d is amended to encourage participation in the cannabis business accelerator program without the inclusion of the term "cannabis establishments."

Further revisions include the addition of the term "Internet" in subdivision (14) of subsection (b) of section 21a-421bb, which now requires websites advertising cannabis products to verify users' age. The bill also updates the reporting requirements for the Commissioners of Agriculture and Consumer Protection regarding a pilot program, changing "general assembly" to "General Assembly" in subsection (t) of section 22-61m. Lastly, subsection (k) of section 21a-226 is amended to clarify the rights of the commissioner to recover amounts paid from the guaranty fund, with the deletion of the phrase "title" from the assignment of rights by the buyer.
