S.B. 967, An Act Concerning the Recommendations of the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services Regarding Emergency Medication

The ACLU-CT opposes this proposal because it would severely curtail the privacy rights and liberty interests of people with serious mental health conditions.

S.B. 1112, An Act Concerning Commitment of a Person Found Not Guilty by Reason of Mental Disease or Defect

It is unfair and unjust to extend a maximum commitment by any length of time. A court cannot simply extend the length of a person’s incarceration when the person has served the maximum amount of time for the crime for which they were convicted. The ACLU-CT therefore supports this bill.
