Jan 1, 2006 - Connecticut legislation (Public Act 05-148) based on  
California's ID Theft law went into effect.

It modified a number of Connecticut statutes.

There are rules on what can be printed on receipts, asked for, etc  
(e.g. with SSNs, CCNs an other eFI).
There are regulations requiring/allowing credit freezes as well as  
notification requirements.
