Over seven dozen Connecticut laws concerning a range of issues, from regulations around e-bikes and helmets to hunting on Sundays, will wholly or partially take effect on Oct. 1. Connecticut laws are passed by the General Assembly during the legislative session each year — this year’s ran from Jan. 8 to June 4 — or in a special session. Towing laws overhaulAn overhaul of Connecticut’s century-old towing statutes takes several steps to make it harder to tow vehicles from private property and easier for drivers to retrieve their vehicles after a tow. It also requires towing companies to accept credit cards and doesn’t allow them to tow vehicles immediately just because of an expired parking permit or registration. Existing Connecticut law, which remains in place, prohibits a person from marrying their parent, child, grandparent, grandchild, sibling, parent’s sibling, stepparent or stepchild.
