AN ACT CONCERNING TRADE NAMES, FRAUDULENT FILINGS, IMPERMISSIBLE BUSINESS SOLICITATIONS, DISSOLUTION OF CORPORATIONS, THE ISSUANCE OF AN APOSTILLE AND FEES CHARGED BY A NOTARY.
SIGNED BY GOVERNOR
Summary
The law repeals the old trade‑name statutes and creates new rules for applying, renewing, amending and cancelling trade‑name certificates. Applications must be filed with the town clerk, include contact information for the filer or business entity, and be signed before an authorized official; a fee set by section 7‑34a applies. A statewide electronic Connecticut Trade Name Registry is established for processing applications and public searching, and certificates are valid for five years.
