SB 759 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING PUBLIC SAFETY, THE PROSECUTION OF CRIMINALS AND THE PROTECTION OF VICTIMS.

SB 759 modifies multiple criminal justice policies. It requires mandatory GPS monitoring for defendants with bail set at $500,000 or more, mandates fingerprinting for juveniles charged with violent or sexual offenses (with records automatically erased at age 18), and reinstates police authority to stop vehicles for cannabis use. The bill also restores qualified immunity for law enforcement officers, creates a gun trafficking task force, and repeals certain use-of-force restrictions from a 2020 police accountability law. These changes directly affect law enforcement practices, juvenile offenders, and individuals facing high-bail cases.
