AN ACT CONCERNING THE NONISSUANCE OF A STANDING CRIMINAL PROTECTIVE ORDER IN THE CASE OF A FAMILY VIOLENCE CRIME.

Summary

The bill changes Connecticut law so that if a judge decides not to issue a standing criminal protective order after a family‑violence conviction (or a not‑guilty finding due to mental disease), the judge must put the reasons on the record. It also gives judges the authority to issue such orders for many violent offenses and, with good cause, for other crimes. The goal is to make the protective‑order process more transparent and better protect victims.
