The Connecticut General Assembly has posted the 2020 Supplement to the General Statutes of Connecticut. The supplement codifies the Public Acts that were enacted by the General Assembly in 2019. There is also an index provided by the Legislative Commissioners' Office.

The 2020 Supplement is intended to be used with the 2019 revision of the statutes. Law Library Services has created multiple finding aids to assist researchers with locating statutes, which can be found on our Connecticut Statutes web page.
