*Note: Prior to 1995, this chapter was known as chapter 663. In 1995, it was renumbered by the Revisors as chapter 673 to allow for the creation of titles 36a, The Banking Law of Connecticut, and 36b, Connecticut Securities Law and Business Opportunity Investment Act. Those titles constitute successor provisions to former title 36 and certain sections from title 42.
