HB 6363 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING TRAFFIC SAFETY ENFORCEMENT AND CERTAIN CRIMINAL OFFENSES.

HB 6363 prohibits law enforcement and courts from dismissing or reducing charges related to excessive speeding, illegal firearms possession, reckless driving, and stolen vehicle offenses. It directly affects police, prosecutors, and judges by requiring full prosecution of these specific traffic and safety violations. The bill amends state statutes to eliminate the practice of lowering charges for these offenses, ensuring they are handled as written in the law. This policy change aims to strengthen enforcement of traffic safety and public safety violations without altering the underlying criminal penalties.
