AN ACT ENHANCING THE PENALTY FOR ORGANIZING OR ACTIVELY PROMOTING A STREET TAKEOVER.

HB 6371 amends Connecticut law to increase penalties for organizing or actively promoting "street takeovers," defined as blocking public streets or disrupting traffic. It classifies the first offense as a class D felony (a more serious felony) and subsequent offenses as class C felony. This directly affects individuals who plan or publicly encourage such events, such as large-scale protests blocking roads. The bill does not change existing penalties for participating in takeovers, only for organizing or promoting them.
