Bridgeport Chamber Seeks Itinerant Vendor Reform
The Bridgeport trade group led by Samuel C. Parker studied strengthening itinerant vendor law to protect Connecticut merchants from fly-by-night sellers. A bill was drafted, hearings held, and after mixed votes the Judiciary committee deemed it unconstitutional. The State Chamber then gathered input from local chambers but produced no constitutional law. The piece also notes opposition to a conditional sales act and other motor vehicle policy debates, with varied committee outcomes and no enacted measures.
