Connecticut General Statutes Title 16. Public Service Companies § 16-50f. Solicitation of insurance applications from employees of public service companies. Payroll deductions

(a) Any public service company providing payroll deduction services for its employees for premiums on individual policies of any line of insurance shall permit solicitation of applications for such policies by any licensed insurer or representative of the insurer. Any such insurer or representative of the insurer who claims he has been denied the right to solicit applications for insurance by a public service company in violation of this section shall file a complaint in writing with the Insurance Commissioner who shall cause an investigation to be made, and if the commissioner determines that the public service company has violated this section, he shall so notify the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority which shall make such order as is necessary to carry out the provisions of this section. This section shall not be construed to invalidate, nor require any public service company to change, a program of payroll deductions for employees' individual insurance policies in existence on October 1, 1969.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) of this section, a public service company may provide payroll deductions for its employees in connection with premiums for a mass merchandising or group plan of any line of insurance, provided that the group covered by such insurance consists predominantly of employees of the public service company.
