HB 6382 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS FOR CRIMES COMMITTED AGAINST THE ELDERLY.

This bill extends the time limit for prosecuting crimes committed against elderly individuals. It amends statute 54-193 to remove the previous deadline, allowing prosecutors more time to file charges. This directly affects elderly victims of crimes and law enforcement agencies by enabling cases to proceed even if reported after the original statute expired. The policy change provides a longer window for legal action without altering the definition of crimes or adding new penalties.
