Introduced in the House

Sept. 29, 2020

Introduced by Rep. Tenisha Yancey (D-1)

To make explicit (along with House Bill 6289) that the law exempting government officials and employees from liability for personal injury or property damage, including harm caused by a planned “tactical operation" by a special operations, weapons, or response team of a law enforcement agency to deal with imminent violence, a riot, an act of terrorism, or a similar civic emergency is subject to the reasonableness standard proposed by House Bill 6289.

Referred to the Committee on Judiciary
