Torts; prohibiting civil liability under specified circumstances; exception; emergency.
HB 2934 prohibits civil lawsuits for bodily injury or property damage caused by another person's criminal act (like assault or theft), protecting businesses or individuals from being sued in such cases. It applies even if the criminal isn't caught or convicted, but exempts cases where the defendant was an accomplice to the crime. The bill specifically covers simple negligence but does not shield against willful, malicious, or grossly negligent actions. This law directly affects entities like businesses or property owners who might face lawsuits after a crime occurs on their premises or involving their services.
