AN ACT STRENGTHENING LAWS CONCERNING EVASION OF POLICE.

HB 6760 amends Connecticut laws to increase penalties for drivers who evade police or cause harm during such evasions. It mandates 3-5 years in prison for negligent homicide during evasion, 2 years for causing injury, and 5 years for causing death. Drivers engaging police in pursuit face felony charges (up to Class D), while causing death results in a 5-10 year sentence - maximum if a police officer dies. The bill directly affects individuals who flee law enforcement, raising criminal consequences for dangerous driving during pursuits.
