AN ACT RESTORING QUALIFIED IMMUNITY TO LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS.
HB 5203 would amend Chapter 925 of state law to restore qualified immunity for law enforcement officers. This legal protection shields officers from civil lawsuits unless they violate "clearly established" rights. The bill directly affects police officers by clarifying their legal boundaries during field operations. Its stated purpose is to reduce ambiguity and provide clearer guidance for officers' actions. The bill is currently referred to the Public Safety and Security Committee.
