No child shall be prosecuted for an offense before the regular criminal docket of the Superior Court except as provided in section 46b-127 and subsection (f) of section 46b-133c.
(1949 Rev., S. 2817; P.A. 76-436, S. 29, 681; P.A. 95-225, S. 26.)
History: P.A. 76-436 replaced juvenile court with superior court and added exception, effective July 1, 1978; Sec. 17-72 temporarily renumbered as Sec. 51-326 and ultimately transferred to Sec. 46b-145 in 1979, and references to other sections within provisions revised as necessary by the Revisors to reflect their transfer; P.A. 95-225 limited provisions to prosecutions before the “regular criminal docket” of the Superior Court, deleted provision that prohibited the adjudication of a child as delinquent being deemed a conviction of a crime, deleted reference to Sec. 46b-126, reflecting repeal of said section by same public act, and added exception for a prosecution as provided in Subsec. (f) of Sec. 46b-133c.
