Proposed Bill No. 6760 aims to strengthen laws related to evasion of police by amending several sections of the general statutes. Key changes include raising the penalty for negligent homicide with a motor vehicle to a class C or D felony with a mandatory sentence of three to five years. Additionally, the penalties for disobeying an officer's signal and engaging in a police pursuit are increased to a class A misdemeanor or class E felony, and a class E or D felony, respectively, for violations not resulting in serious injury or death.
Furthermore, the bill introduces mandatory sentences for evasion of responsibility, stipulating two years for causing serious injury and five years for causing death. It also raises the penalty for misconduct with a motor vehicle resulting in death to a class C or B felony, with a mandatory sentence of five to ten years, particularly emphasizing the maximum sentence for violations leading to the death of a police officer. These amendments reflect a significant tightening of penalties associated with evasion of police and related offenses.
