AN ACT CONCERNING THE PENALTY FOR VEHICULAR MANSLAUGHTER.

HB 6359 increases the penalty for vehicular manslaughter from a class C felony to a class B felony under Connecticut law. This change directly affects individuals convicted of causing death while operating a motor vehicle under circumstances that constitute second-degree manslaughter. The bill amends Section 53a-56b of the general statutes to elevate the felony classification, reflecting a stricter criminal penalty. The measure does not alter the definition of the offense or add new requirements, only raising the severity of the punishment for existing violations.
