Document Title	Legislative history of "An Act Concerning Revision and Codification of the Substantive Criminal Law. This act shall be known as the Penal Code", Public Act 69-828, 1969 House Bill no. 7182. v.1
Subject - LCSH	Connecticut. Act Concerning Revision and Codification of the Substantive Criminal Law -- Legislative history; Connecticut. Penal Code -- Legislative history; Criminal law -- Connecticut -- Legislative history; Legislative histories -- Connecticut
Description	This is the act which compiled the criminal law of Connecticut into a Penal Code. The delayed effective date of 1971 permitted the legal community to study the new law. The Commission to Revise the Criminal Statutes revised and codified the substantive criminal law and did not address the problems of criminal procedure. This act codified the common law principles of criminal liability, created the new concept of an affirmative defense, and eliminated the common law right to forcefully resist arrest. The act established a system of five felonies and four misdemeanors with uniform penalties. Compiled from hearings and proceedings of the 1969 Session of the Connecticut General Assembly Senate, House, and Judiciary and Governmental Functions Joint Standing Committee hearings.
