CT SB01134

Amends Connecticut General Statutes section 53a-55 (manslaughter in the first degree) to establish that failure to move over for an emergency vehicle constitutes "per se extreme indifference to human life"

References existing section 14-283b, which requires drivers to move over or slow down for stopped emergency vehicles with flashing lights

Creates an automatic legal standard that could elevate charges to first-degree manslaughter if a death results from failing to yield to emergency vehicles

Introduced by Senator Cicarella (34th District) and Representatives Fazzino, Quinn, and Linehan; referred to the Judiciary Committee
