AN ACT RESTORING CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
SB 343 would restore the death penalty in Connecticut for individuals convicted of specific murders under Section 53a-54b of state law, effective upon the bill's enactment. It amends Chapter 952 of the general statutes to reinstate "capital felony" as a punishable offense for these crimes. The bill directly affects people convicted of qualifying murders committed after the law takes effect, restoring a penalty previously removed by Connecticut law.
