State of Connecticut v. William Guckian
    
      Jack W. Fischer, deputy assistant state’s attorney, in support of the petition.
    
      Lawrence D. Church, in opposition.
    Decided July 9, 1992
   The state of Connecticut’s petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 27 Conn. App. 225, is granted, limited to the following questions:

“1. Did the Appellate Court properly determine that the term ‘crime’ as used in Public Acts 1989, No. 89-390 includes motor vehicle violations?
“2. Did the Appellate Court properly determine that the requirement of Public Acts 1989, No. 89-390 that there be a ‘relationship’ between the alcohol or drug dependency and the crime committed does not require a showing of a causal or contributory link between the dependency and the crime?” 
      
       Public Acts 1989, No. 89-390 is now codified in General Statutes §§ 17a-648 through 17a-658.
