This bill died with 2023 Regular Session. It reached “In Committee” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

SEN.
Under the bill, similar to existing regulation, a “commercial motor vehicle” is any vehicle designed or used to transport merchandise or freight and bearing commercial registration.
MOORE, 22nd Dist.;
Existing OSTA regulations prohibit commercial motor vehicles from entering and using limited access highways that are designated as parkways (i.e., the Merritt and Wilbur Cross Parkways and the Milford Parkway), and a violation of this prohibition is an infraction (CGS § 14- 314;

(The current fine is set at $50 plus $42 in surcharges.) The bill makes violations of its prohibitions punishable by a fine of $500 for a first violation and $1,000 for any subsequent violation.
3849 5 of 5
The fines must be assessed against the (1) commercial vehicle owner, when the owner, owner’s agent, or owner’s employee was the driver or (2) commercial vehicle lessee, when the lessee, lessee’s agent, or the lessee’s employee was the driver.
Similar provisions about responsibility for the fine apply to some other commercial vehicle penalties, such as the penalty for driving overweight vehicles (CGS § 14-267a(f)).
Under the bill, violations are processed through the Centralized sSB15 / File No.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
October 1, 2023 BACKGROUND Centralized Infractions Bureau (CIB) By law, individuals charged with a motor vehicle violation may, generally, pay the fine through the CIB without appearing in court.
Payment is considered a plea of nolo contendere (no contest) and is not admissible in any civil or criminal proceeding.
If an individual pleads not guilty, the CIB must send the plea and request for trial to the clerk of the geographical area court where the trial is to take place.
The practice, procedure, rules of evidence, and burden of proof applicable in criminal proceedings apply in such a trial (CGS § 51-164n).
Related Bill HB 6676, favorably reported by the Judiciary Committee, increases the fine for operating a commercial vehicle on state parkways in violation of OSTA regulations to $500 for each violation.
