AN ACT CONCERNING PENALTIES FOR CERTAIN FELONY VIOLATIONS OF ELECTION LAWS.

HB 6015 changes penalties for specific felony violations of election laws by requiring a mandatory minimum one-year prison sentence for offenders. This means individuals convicted of certain election-related felonies must serve at least 12 months in prison with no possibility of probation or sentence reduction. The bill directly affects people who commit serious election law violations, such as voter fraud or ballot tampering. It replaces previous sentencing flexibility with a fixed one-year minimum term for these offenses. The law applies to felony violations covered under Title 9 of the general statutes.
