Are mud flaps required on commercial motor vehicles in Connecticut?

The Connecticut state law states:

"

No person shall operate or cause to be operated any bus, truck, truck-tractor, full trailer or semi-trailer of registered gross vehicle weight exceeding 3 tons on any public highway unless the same is equipped with suitable metal protectors or substantial flexible flaps behind the rearmost wheels; and, in case the rear wheels are not covered at the top and the rear by fender, body or other part of the vehicle, the rear wheels shall be covered at the top and the rear by protective means of such standard type or design and so installed as to reduce - as far as practicable - such wheels from throwing dirt, water or other materials on the windshields of following vehicles, except in cases in which the motor vehicle is so designed and constructed that the above requirements are accomplished by reason of the fender or body construction or other means of enclosure"

There is no federal law requiring them nationwide, as this matter is not addressed by the FMCSA.
