Because it is presumed that the legislature acts with knowledge of existing statutes and intends to create one consistent body of law; Kinney v. State, 213 Conn. 54, 65, 566 A.2d 670 (1989); it is not our role to engraft the language of one statute onto another, particularly where, as here, the statutes are similar and were under consideration by the legislature at the same time. See Caron v. Inland Wetlands & Watercourses Commission, 222 Conn. 269, 277, 610 A.2d 584 (1992); Doe v. Manson, 183 Conn. 183, 187-88, 438 A.2d 859 (1981). The judgment is affirmed. In this opinion the other judges concurred.
