Minnesota Civil Remedies Act established, and immunity for government employee torts prohibited.

This bill creates the Minnesota Civil Remedies Act to hold government employees personally liable for civil rights violations they commit while acting under color of law, regardless of whether the misconduct occurred on or off duty. It removes common legal defenses like qualified immunity, official immunity, and sovereign immunity from government employees, allowing injured individuals to seek compensatory damages, punitive damages, and attorney fees. However, the law preserves immunity for judges, prosecutors, and legislators when they act in their official judicial, prosecutorial, or legislative capacities. The bill applies to all government entities including state, county, and municipal agencies, and it does not limit existing federal civil rights claims.
