2012 Connecticut General Statutes
Title 54 - Criminal Procedure
Chapter 961 - Trial and Proceedings After Conviction
Section 54-131d - Conditions of release on medical parole.

(a) The Board of Pardons and Paroles shall require as a condition of release on medical parole that the parolee agree to placement and that he is able to be placed for a definite or indefinite period of time in a hospital or hospice or other housing accommodation suitable to his medical condition, including his family’s home, as specified by the board.

(b) The Board of Pardons and Paroles may require as a condition of release on medical parole periodic diagnoses as described in section 54-131c. If after review of such diagnoses the board finds that a parolee released pursuant to sections 54-131a to 54-131g, inclusive, is no longer so debilitated or incapacitated as to be physically incapable of presenting a danger to society, such parolee shall be returned to any institution of the Department of Correction.

(P.A. 89-383, S. 9, 16; P.A. 04-234, S. 2; 04-257, S. 125.)

History: P.A. 04-234 replaced Board of Parole with Board of Pardons and Paroles, effective July 1, 2004; P.A. 04-257 amended Subsec. (b) to provide that a parolee shall be returned to “any institution” of the Department of Correction rather than to “the custody” of said department, effective June 14, 2004.
