Connecticut General Statutes Title 45A. Probate Courts and Procedure § 45a-697. Informed consent. Refusal of sterilization

If the court does not find that the respondent is able to give informed consent, such court shall retain its jurisdiction and shall determine whether such sterilization is in the best interest of the respondent. Notwithstanding the finding of the court, the respondent can refuse sterilization, provided the court concludes that the respondent understands the nature and consequences of such refusal.
