Conn. Practice Book § 1-9B

(a) In the event that the governor declares a

public health emergency pursuant to General Statutes § 19a-131a or a civil preparedness emergency pursuant to General Statutes § 28-9 or

both, the chief justice, or if the chief justice is

incapacitated or unavailable, the chairperson of

the Rules Committee may call a meeting of the

Superior Court Rules Committee.

(b) No quorum shall be required at this meeting

as long as a good faith effort has been made to

contact all members of the Rules Committee to

advise them of the meeting. The meeting may

be held in person or by electronic means. Public

notice should be given of the Rules Committee

meeting, but failure to give such notice shall not

impair the validity of actions taken at the meeting

as long as a good faith effort has been made to

provide such notice.

(c) At such meeting the Rules Committee shall

have the power to adopt on an interim basis any

new rules and to amend or suspend in whole

or in part on an interim basis any existing rules

concerning practice and procedure in the Superior

Court that the committee deems necessary in light

of the circumstances of the declared emergency.

Any new rules and any amendments to and suspensions of existing rules adopted pursuant to

this section should be published in the Connecticut Law Journal and on the Judicial Branch web-site, but failure to so publish shall not impair the

validity of such rules as long as a good faith effort

has been made to so publish.

(d) Any such new rules and amendments to and

suspensions of existing rules adopted pursuant

to this section shall remain in effect for the duration

of the declared emergency or until such time, as

soon as practicable, as a meeting of the Superior

Court judges can be convened, in person or electronically, to consider and vote on the changes.
