The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6625, mandates the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection to create a comprehensive plan to address the issue of street takeovers. This initiative aims to enhance public safety and provide a structured response to the growing concern of illegal street racing and related activities.
Additionally, the bill amends section 14-66c of the general statutes to permit municipalities to destroy or otherwise dispose of vehicles that have been seized during street takeovers. This change is intended to give local authorities more power and flexibility in managing the aftermath of such events, thereby streamlining the process of dealing with confiscated vehicles.
