Connecticut General Statutes Title 17B. Social Services § 17b-732. Papers for commitment of minors; uniform forms. Notice to Commissioner of Social Services or designee

Uniform forms of commitment papers or mittimus shall be used by all authorities throughout the state in the commitment by them of minors to the Commissioner of Social Services, the Commissioner of Children and Families or humane or reformatory institutions. Such forms shall be prepared by the Attorney General, printed at the expense of the state and furnished by the Commissioner of Social Services or his designee. In such forms there shall be stated the following particulars in regard to the minor committed thereby: Name, age or date of birth as exactly as can be determined, and the town or city and state in which born; name, nationality and religious preference of the parents so far as known. The age thus ascertained shall be taken as the true age of such minor with reference to the term of commitment. The authority committing any minor to the Commissioner of Social Services, the Commissioner of Children and Families or the Southbury Training School shall forthwith send a notice of such commitment to the Commissioner of Social Services or his designee in a form approved by him. The provisions of this section shall not apply to commitment papers made pursuant to sections 18-65a or 18-73, which shall be prepared by the Judicial Department.
