CT Gen Stat § 53a-201 (2019) (N/A)
Copy with citation
Copy as parenthetical citation

The prosecuting attorney, at the time of presenting the complaint and application to the court, shall also present the material or a witness or other evidence describing or depicting the performance. If, after examination, the court finds no probable cause to believe such material or performance obscene or obscene as to minors, the court shall dismiss the action. If, after examination, the court finds probable cause to believe such material or performance obscene or obscene as to minors, the court shall then proceed as in other applications for an injunction. The person sought to be enjoined shall be entitled to a trial of the issues, commencing within one day after the close of all pleadings, and any decision by the court shall be rendered within two days of the conclusion of the trial.

(1969, P.A. 828, S. 203; P.A. 92-260, S. 83.)

History: P.A. 92-260 added provisions requiring that the court “dismiss the action” if it fails to find probable cause and that the court proceed as in other applications for an injunction “if, after examination, the court finds probable cause to believe such material or performance obscene or obscene as to minors”, provisions which were contained in former Sec. 53-244d which was repealed by 1969 P.A. 828, S. 214, the same act which enacted the penal code.
