Although in Conway v. Wilton, 238 Conn. 653, 680, 680 A.2d 242 (1996), we quest ioned the persuasive value of a presumption of legislative agreement when the legislature has not had sufficient opportunity to respond and when other considerations seem particularly compelling, the doctrine itself is by no means dead. We have employed the legislative concurrence doctrine a number of times since Conway. See Prato v. New Haven, 246 Conn. 638, 647, 717 A.2d 1216 (1998); Bocchino v. Nationwide Mutual Fire Ins. Co., 246 Conn. 378, 386, 716 A.2d 883 (1998); Hanson v. Transportation General, Inc., 245 Conn. 613, 618-19, 716 A.2d 857 (1998); Hall v. Gilbert & Bennett Mfg. Co., 241 Conn. 282, 297, 695 A.2d 1051 (1997); Martin v. Plainville, supra, 240 Conn. 110.
