The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6662, seeks to amend chapter 925 of the general statutes to restore qualified immunity for law enforcement officers. This legal protection is intended to shield officers from civil liability when they perform their duties, provided their actions do not violate clearly established statutory or constitutional rights. The restoration of qualified immunity aims to reduce ambiguity in the law and provide clearer guidance for law enforcement personnel regarding acceptable conduct in the field.

The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but focuses solely on the insertion of language that reinstates qualified immunity for law enforcement officers. The intent behind this legislative change is to enhance the operational clarity for officers, thereby potentially improving their decision-making in high-pressure situations.
