Discrimination in Stores, Restaurants and Public Places
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 46a-64 — full and equal accommodations, including for lawful source of income
No place of public accommodation, resort or amusement may deny any person full and equal accommodations because of race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, gender identity or expression, marital status, age, lawful source of income, intellectual, mental or physical disability, veteran status, or status as a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault or trafficking, subject only to conditions established by law that apply alike to all persons.

Discriminating, segregating or separating on those grounds is forbidden as well. Public Act 26-77 amended the section from 1 October 2026.
