Legislative History

(P.A. 96-228, S. 2; June Sp. Sess. P.A. 98-1, S. 37, 121; P.A. 10-144, S. 6; P.A. 11-152, S. 12; P.A. 14-217, S. 123.) History: June Sp. Sess. P.A. 98-1 made a technical change in Subsec. (a), effective June 24, 1998; Sec. 53a-110c transferred to Sec. 53a-223a in 2001; P.A. 10-144 substituted “standing criminal protective order” for “standing criminal restraining order”; P.A. 11-152 added new Subsec. (b) to provide that no protected person may be criminally liable for specified offenses and redesignated existing Subsec. (b) as Subsec. (c); P.A. 14-217 amended Subsec. (c) to add provision re class C felony when violation involves imposing restraint upon the person or liberty of a person, or threatening, harassing, assaulting, molesting, sexually assaulting or attacking a person in violation of standing criminal protective order, effective January 1, 2015. Use of the word “involves” in Subsec. (c) indicates that unit of prosecution is on a transactional basis and section permits criminal liability for each discrete act in violation of a restraining order. 337 C. 92.
