Sec. 54-252. Registration of person who has committed a sexually violent offense.
Status: repealed

(b) Any person who has been subject to the registration requirements of section 54-102r of the general statutes, revised to January 1, 1997, as amended by section 1 of public act 97-183, shall, not later than three working days after October 1, 1998, register under this section and thereafter comply with the provisions of sections 54-102g and 54-250 to 54-258a , inclusive, except that any person who was convicted or found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect of an offense that is classified as a criminal offense against a victim who is a minor under subdivision (2) of section 54-250 and that is subject to a ten-year period of registration under section 54-251 shall maintain such registration for ten years from the date of such person's release into the community.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) of this section, during the initial registration period following October 1, 1998, the Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection may phase in completion of the registration procedure for persons released into the community prior to said date over the first three months following said date, and no such person shall be prosecuted for failure to register under this section during those three months provided such person complies with the directives of said commissioner regarding registration procedures.

(d) Any person who violates the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a class D felony, except that, if such person violates the provisions of this section by failing to notify the Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection without undue delay of a change of name, address or status or another reportable event, such person shall be subject to such penalty if such failure continues for five business days.

Violation of section is a threat to the public in general, thus the state has an important interest at stake, and involuntary administration of medication to render the accused competent for trial is justified. 122 CA 664. Defendant's federal and state equal protection challenges properly denied because defendant failed to demonstrate lack of a rational basis for the lifetime registration requirement for those convicted of violent second degree sexual assaults as compared to the 10-year registration requirement for those convicted of nonviolent second degree sexual assaults; requiring lifetime sexual offender registration for those convicted of violent second degree sexual assaults is rationally related to the government's legitimate interest in protecting the public from sexual offenders whose actions demonstrate a willingness to use force or the threat of force. 151 CA 658.

Subsec. (b):

Registration of nonviolent offenders under another statute does not negate requirement that sexual offenders register under repealed Sec. 52-102n. 99 CA 358.

(d) Expenditures from the account allocated to the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection and local police departments shall be authorized by a panel composed of: (1) The Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection or his designee, (2) the commander of the state-wide narcotics task force or his designee, and (3) the president of the Connecticut Police Chiefs Association or his designee. The panel shall adopt procedures for the orderly authorization of expenditures, subject to the approval of the Comptroller. Such expenditures may be authorized only to the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection and to organized local police departments within this state. Such expenditures shall be held by the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection and the various organized local police departments in accounts or funds established for that purpose. In no event shall the expenditures be placed in a state or town general fund and in no event shall the expenditures be used for purposes other than those provided in subdivision (1) of subsection (c) of this section. The panel shall ensure the equitable allocation of expenditures to the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection or any local police department which participated directly in any of the acts which led to the seizure or forfeiture of the property so as to reflect generally the contribution of said department or such local police department in such acts. The panel shall authorize expenditures from the account for the reimbursement of any organized local police department which has used its own funds in the detection, investigation, apprehension and prosecution of persons for the violation of laws pertaining to the illegal manufacture, sale, distribution or possession of controlled substances and which makes application to the panel for reimbursement.

Sec. 54-142d. Erasure of record of decriminalized offense. Exceptions.
Status: in_force

Sec. 21a-279a reduced penalty for possessing less than one-half ounce of marijuana to a fine and therefore decriminalized said possession for purposes of this section. 315 C. 861. In the absence of a factual record, trial court directed to conduct an evidentiary hearing to determine whether defendant possessed less than one-half ounce of marijuana and, thus, whether defendant's record of conviction is entitled to erasure under section. 323 C. 756. Section does not compel erasure of probation violation that was premised on now decriminalized offense of possession of less than one-half ounce of marijuana under Sec. 21a-279a; “such case” can refer only to the case in which the person has been convicted of an offense in any court in this state and such offense has been decriminalized subsequent to the date of such conviction; “such case” cannot refer to a probation violation, which is more akin to a civil proceeding. 332 C. 639.

An act that constitutes a crime under the Penal Code is an offense under section; decriminalization of an act under Sec. 53a-71(a)(1) in P.A. 07-143 entitled person with prior conviction for committing such act to erasure and destruction of records under this section, and repeal of Sec. 53a-71 in its entirety was not required for such erasure and destruction of records. 142 CA 21. Offense was not decriminalized when reclassified as a violation because actual legalization was necessary to constitute decriminalization under section. 147 CA 232; judgment reversed in part, see 315 C. 861.
