AN ACT CONCERNING THE LEGISLATIVE COMMISSIONERS' RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MINOR AND TECHNICAL REVISIONS TO STATUTES CONCERNING CONSUMER PROTECTION.

HB 5126 standardizes the format and content of residential condition disclosure forms used in real estate transactions. It requires these forms to fit on 8.5x11-inch pages with 9-point minimum font (except checkboxes), include property addresses and page numbers, and follow specific section headings. The bill mandates that sellers disclose details about the property's condition, including mechanical systems, water sources, potential hazards, and ownership restrictions through a standardized questionnaire. This directly affects sellers in Connecticut home sales and the Commissioner of Consumer Protection, who will oversee these forms under existing consumer protection statutes. The changes are technical revisions to improve clarity and consistency, not new policy.
