Legislative History

(P.A. 11-45, S. 24; P.A. 14-184, S. 4.) History: P.A. 14-184 amended Subdiv. (1) by designating existing provision re principal detained or incarcerated as Subpara. (A), adding “or (ii) by a federal agency” therein, and adding Subpara. (B) re removal by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, amended Subdiv. (2) to add “satisfactory” re proof and add reference to removal, and made technical changes. Plain language of section, as read in connection with other statutes, demonstrates that legislature intended “detained” to require governmental action, i.e., custody by a governmental entity. 323 C. 629.
