CT SB00091

Expands the definition of "peace officer" to include any federal law enforcement officer as defined in 18 USC 115(c)(1) or 34 USC 50301(5), replacing the previous narrower reference to U.S. marshals and DEA agents

Establishes "protected areas" where civil enforcement actions by law enforcement are restricted, including schools, medical facilities, places of worship, childcare centers, social services establishments, disaster relief sites, and locations of ceremonies or public demonstrations

Prohibits law enforcement from detaining or arresting individuals in protected areas, state facilities, or municipal facilities for civil offenses unless they have documentation showing the person has a judicial warrant, conviction for specified serious crimes (including Class A/B felonies, child endangerment, sexual offenses), or is flagged in a terrorism database

Creates a review process requiring a "designated individual" at protected locations to verify law enforcement documentation before any civil enforcement arrest can proceed

Allows exceptions for exigent circumstances including national security threats, imminent risk of death or violence, hot pursuit of dangerous individuals, or risk of evidence destruction; violations constitute second-degree breach of peace
