2006 Senate Bill 1046 ↩

House Roll Call 775: Passed

To create a new law establishing that a person who uses deadly force for self defense in his or her home, contiguous private property or occupied vehicle need not first flee from a threatening attacker, and that a person who unlawfully and forcibly enters one of these is presumed is to be doing so with the intent to commit an unlawful act involving force or violence, with certain exceptions specified in the bill. This would place the “home is my castle” doctrine in statute.
