Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42 § 42-103m
Powers of commissioner.
Operative Text
The Commissioner of Consumer Protection shall have all of the powers and remedies conferred upon him under chapter 735a for the administration and enforcement of this chapter.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-103m, the Connecticut Commissioner of Consumer Protection is granted the full set of powers and remedies available under chapter 735a to administer and enforce the consumer protection rules in this chapter. This means the Commissioner can use investigative, regulatory, and enforcement tools already established elsewhere in state law. The provision effectively ties the enforcement authority for this chapter to a broader, pre-existing framework rather than creating new standalone powers.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-103m establishes that property owners and managers operating under this chapter are subject to oversight by the Commissioner of Consumer Protection, who holds the same broad enforcement authority granted under chapter 735a. Compliant operators generally maintain accurate records, respond to inquiries from the Commissioner's office, and ensure their practices align with the requirements of this chapter. Understanding that the Commissioner has wide-ranging investigative and remedial tools available is relevant context for anyone managing rental properties in Connecticut.
