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.

Reverse Piercing of the Corporate Veil Prohibited

Our Enforcing Money Judgments Research Guide (Table 9) has been updated to reflect Public Act 19-181, which eliminates Reverse Piercing of the Corporate Veil in Connecticut. In addition, the Public Act Summary states that "[t]his act sets specific conditions that must be met in granting a veil piercing claim to override limitations on a domestic entity interest holder’s liability in connection with the entity’s transactions. (Under the act, a 'domestic entity' is an entity whose internal affairs are governed by Connecticut law.) In doing so, the act generally codifies the 'instrumentality test,' one of two methods Connecticut courts use to determine whether to grant a veil-piercing claim." Below is revised table 9 in the Enforcing Money Judgments Research Guide.
