New acts in Connecticut cover hate crimes, ‘sexting’ and more

The Connecticut General Assembly has complied a list of all the acts going into effect across the state on Oct. 1 — among them, changes to domestic violence crimes, “sexting,” hate crimes and the Safe Haven law. There are 140 new acts going into effect Sunday. The full list can be found on the Connecticut General Assembly website. Previous Legislation can also be found on the website, dating back to 2007. There are three dates throughout the year when new Legislation typically takes effect: Jan. 1, July 1 and Oct. 1, according to the CGA. For this wave of new acts, some are as simple as a new mushroom act that allows people to take mushrooms from state parks for their own personal use.
