Klarides-Ditria: Hearing slated on motor vehicle theft crisis

HARTFORD - Connecticut's news media has dedicated considerable time to sharing the concerns of residents frustrated not just by escalating motor vehicle break-ins, but also brazen car thefts committed by juveniles who act without fear of significant legal repercussion. There's a Judiciary Committee public hearing Wednesday [Details below] on H.B. 6667 and H. B. 6669 where you can share your thoughts about the motor vehicle theft crisis. Early this session, House Republicans submitted legislation to impose actual consequences for teenagers (15-18) who are repeatedly charged with stealing or attempting to steal a vehicle. Our proposal includes: Facing charges on the regular criminal docket; Expanded ability for judges to order detainment or GPS monitoring; Categorize as "serious juvenile repeat offender" upon second theft conviction; Require DCF intervention to provide services to offender; Modify state pursuit policy, allow police to intercept thieves as the crime occurs HOW TO SPEAK OUT ON THIS TOPIC Judiciary Committee public hearing Wednesday, March 31, @ 10 a.m. Register to testify virtually Deadline to register: Tuesday March 30 @ 3 p.m. TESTIFY BY EMAIL Email written testimony to judtestimony@cga.ct.gov and state your name and bills (H.B. 6667 & 6669.)
