Enforcement and Penalties
Reference only: This requirement is not currently tested by the Privisy scanner. It is included for reference. Consult a qualified attorney to assess your compliance posture.
What it requires
Vests enforcement authority exclusively in the Connecticut Attorney General; there is no private right of action. Each violation of sections 42-515 to 42-525 constitutes an unfair trade practice under the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act (CUTPA), carrying civil penalties of up to $5,000 per willful violation, in addition to injunctive relief and restitution. The mandatory 60-day right to cure sunset on December 31, 2024, so the Attorney General may now bring an enforcement action at its discretion without first affording an opportunity to cure.
