Conn. Practice Book § 39-22 — Pleading to Other Offenses after Guilty Finding

Upon entry of a finding of guilty after acceptance of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere or after a trial, a defendant may request permission to plead guilty or nolo contendere to any other offense for which the court wherein the finding of guilty was entered has jurisdiction to impose the maximum authorized penalty. Upon the written approval of the prosecuting authority who is authorized to request imposition of the maximum authorized penalty in the judicial district or geographical area wherein the offense has been or could be charged, and upon the written approval of the prosecuting authority who is authorized to request imposition of the maximum authorized penalty in the judicial district or geographical area wherein the court, in which the finding of guilty was entered, is located, a defendant may enter a plea of guilty or nolo contendere in conformity with Section 39-18. Such a plea shall operate as a waiver of venue and as a consent to the filing of an appropriate information.
