AN ACT CONCERNING PENALTIES FOR MOTOR VEHICLE THEFT AND CRIMES INVOLVING FIREARMS.

HB 5732 increases minimum sentences for adults and juveniles convicted of robbery involving an occupied motor vehicle when a firearm or deadly weapon is used. It also raises penalties for crimes committed using a stolen motor vehicle or stolen firearm. The bill directly affects individuals convicted of these specific violent theft offenses under Connecticut state law. These changes aim to strengthen penalties for crimes combining vehicle theft with firearms.
