Conn. Gen. Stat. § 38a-306
The form of policy of fire insurance set forth in section 38a-307 shall be known and designated as "The Standard Fire Insurance Policy of the State of Connecticut". The standard form of policy shall be plainly printed, and no portion thereof shall be in type smaller than the type used in printing such form on file in the office of the commissioner. The provisions of this section shall not limit insurance companies to the use of any particular size of paper or manner of folding the paper upon which their policies may be issued, and each agent who makes, issues or delivers a policy of fire insurance other than the standard form of fire insurance policy shall forfeit for each offense not more than one thousand dollars, but such policy shall be binding upon the issuing company to the same extent and on the same conditions as if it had been in the standard form.
