This legal document governs agent delinquencies in the context of the Connecticut Administrative Code, specifically in relation to the operation of the lottery by the Department of Consumer Protection. The document outlines the designation of collection agents by the president to oversee the assessment, collection, and receipt of settlements, delinquencies, and other debts owed to the CLC (Connecticut Lottery Corporation).

The document also provides information on the opportunity for a delinquency assessment hearing, the consequences of failure to appear at the hearing, and the potential modification of delinquency findings by the commissioner. It further outlines the delinquency collection process, including the issuance of a formal finding of delinquency assessment, the employment of collection agents, and the use of warrants for distraint upon the agent’s property. The document concludes by stating that the department may initiate the hearing process against an agent with an alleged delinquency.
