The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6015, seeks to amend Title 9 of the general statutes to establish stricter penalties for certain felony violations of election laws. Specifically, the bill introduces a new provision that mandates a minimum term of imprisonment of twelve months for these violations, which cannot be suspended or reduced. This change aims to enhance the enforcement of election laws and deter potential violations by imposing a one-year mandatory minimum prison sentence.

The bill reflects a commitment to uphold the integrity of the electoral process by ensuring that individuals who commit serious offenses related to election laws face significant consequences. By implementing these mandatory minimum sentences, the legislation intends to reinforce the seriousness of election law violations and promote accountability among those involved in the electoral system.
