CT HB05448

Federal officers, employees, or agents would not have immunity from state prosecution unless their actions were both authorized by federal law and necessary and proper to execute their official duties (effective upon passage)

Connecticut law enforcement units would be prohibited from hiring former federal law enforcement officials who were dismissed for malfeasance or serious misconduct, or who resigned/retired while under investigation for such conduct (effective October 1, 2026)

Law enforcement units must notify other units and the Police Officer Standards and Training Council when a former officer with a misconduct history applies for a police position elsewhere

Federal law enforcement officials who are exonerated of all misconduct allegations are exempt from the hiring restrictions

"Serious misconduct" is defined to include felony convictions, fabrication of evidence, repeated excessive force, bribery, and fraud
