    Legislation Effective Oct. 1

    Legislation Effective Oct. 1
    This article was archived from the previous WordPress site. Formatting and media should be close, but may not match the original post perfectly.

    Several new laws previously approved by the legislature took effect today, and a few examples are included below.  Click here to view the entire list.

    EMPLOYEE PRIVACY
    Employees concerned about their employers asking them to hand over their social media log-in credentials will now have protections. Employees have a right to say no and in doing so they won’t be punished for refusing to provide the information.

    CONNECTICUT GROWN
    There are now more standards for farmers market vendors. The “Connecticut Grown” law cracks down on vendors who label produce as local when it’s not. The fine goes up from $25 to $100. The new law also mandates that farmers who grow in the state must post a sign at the market with the name and location of the farm.

    BOAT SAFETY
    This law improves boat safety by establishing a minimum age of 16 for anyone towing a water skier or tuber.

    VARIABLE RATE BAN
    After receiving many complaints from electric ratepayers who saw their bill skyrocket through variable rates, the state now becomes the first in the nation to ban variable rate electric contracts.
