AN ACT CONCERNING CRIMINAL PENALTIES FOR INTENTIONAL DAMAGE TO CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE.

Summary

The bill rewrites Connecticut’s criminal mischief laws to treat intentional damage or interference with utilities, transportation, communications, emergency services and other essential public systems as more serious crimes. First‑degree offenses that cause $1,500 or more in damage become a class D felony, while second‑degree offenses that cause $250 or more become a class A misdemeanor.
