The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6662, aims 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, thereby reducing ambiguity in their actions while on duty and providing clearer guidance for their conduct in the field.

The bill is introduced by Representative Hoxha from the 78th District and is referred to the Committee on Public Safety and Security. The statement of purpose emphasizes the need for clarity in law enforcement practices, suggesting that restoring qualified immunity will help officers understand the legal boundaries of their actions and enhance their ability to perform their roles effectively.
