Tort liability; prohibiting civil liability for certain persons under specified circumstances; clarifying applicability of certain immunity. Emergency.
SB 992 limits civil liability for bodily injury or property damage caused by another person's criminal act (such as theft or assault). It prohibits lawsuits against individuals or entities unless they were convicted as criminal accomplices in the act. This immunity applies regardless of whether the criminal is arrested or convicted, but does not protect against willful, wanton, malicious, or grossly negligent conduct. The bill directly affects businesses, property owners, and service providers who might face lawsuits following a crime committed by a third party on their premises or involving their services.
