(a) Not later than July 1, 2008, the Office of the State Fire Marshal shall develop and
make available for public inspection, on its web site and in such other forms as the State
Fire Marshal deems appropriate, a Connecticut Fire Safe Cigarette Directory listing of
all holders that have provided current certifications conforming to the requirements of

Marshal shall update the directory as necessary in order to correct mistakes and to add
or remove a holder or cigarette to keep the directory current and in conformity with the
requirements of sections 29-416 to 29-421, inclusive.
(b) The State Fire Marshal shall not include or retain in such directory the cigarette
of any holder if the holder: (1) Has failed to provide the required certification, (2) has
failed to provide copies of reports, as required by subsection (d) of section 29-418, and
more than sixty days have elapsed since the holder received the written request therefor,
or (3) has provided a certification that the State Fire Marshal determines is not in compliance with the provisions of section 29-419, unless such violation has been remedied to
the satisfaction of the State Fire Marshal.
(c) Any holder aggrieved by a determination by the State Fire Marshal not to include
a cigarette in the directory maintained pursuant to this section or to remove such cigarette
from the directory may apply, not later than thirty days after such determination, to the
superior court for the judicial district of Hartford, which court may grant appropriate
relief.
(d) If the State Fire Marshal determines that a holder of a cigarette manufacturer's
license has violated a provision of this section or section 29-419, the Attorney General,
upon referral from the State Fire Marshal, may bring a civil action in the superior court
for the judicial district of Hartford to recover a civil penalty of not more than ten thousand
dollars per violation and such injunctive and equitable relief as the court deems appropriate.
