Bill > SB00213

This bill seeks to repeal specific sections of Connecticut's Police Accountability Act (Public Act 20-1 from the July special session), specifically targeting sections 52-571k and 54-33o of the state's general statutes, and reversing amendments previously made to sections 53a-22 and 54-33b. While the precise details of the specific legal sections are not fully provided in the XML, the bill's stated purpose is to remove certain restrictions on law enforcement and provide protection for police officers and municipalities against what are characterized as "frivolous lawsuits". By repealing these provisions, the bill appears aimed at rolling back some of the police reform measures that were originally implemented in the 2020 Police Accountability Act, which likely introduced more stringent oversight or limitations on law enforcement actions. The bill represents an effort to modify previous legal constraints on police conduct and potential legal liability, though without the full text of the original act, the exact nature of the repealed provisions cannot be definitively stated.
