SB 631, An Act Concerning the Penalties for Distracted Driving

The ACLU-CT is dedicated to ending mass incarceration. That effort includes examining all aspects of the criminal and civil legal systems, including fees and fines. Fines and fees in the criminal justice system are a practice that traps people into cycles of debt. The financial burden of fees and fines disproportionately harms people of color and people living in poverty, often trapping them in cycles of debt and incarceration.
