Connecticut replacement-cost statute
Connecticut General Statutes §38a-307 (Standard Form Fire Policy) — view full text.

The standard form indemnifies up to ACV without allowance for ordinance-or-law increased reconstruction cost unless separately endorsed; replacement-cost coverage is layered as an endorsement.
