Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 2 mixed.

Sue for warrantless entry by authorities

The law lets you sue someone acting with government authority who enters your property without a court warrant and no exception applies. Owners, occupants, and people lawfully present with a reasonable expectation of privacy can sue. “Property” includes homes and nearby land, certain vehicles on private property, places of worship, schools, medical treatment facilities, and other places where you have a reasonable expectation of privacy. If you win, you can get money for economic and noneconomic harm and court orders to stop or prevent harm. The court must award your reasonable attorney fees and costs if you prevail; for injunctions you count as prevailing if your suit was a substantial factor in the result. A defendant can get fees and costs only if the court finds your claim frivolous.

Two-year deadline to sue

You must start a lawsuit under this law within two years after the claim arises. If you file after two years, the court can bar your claim.

No state suit when federal rights apply

You cannot bring this state claim against someone who can be sued for the same injury under federal civil-rights law. This includes law enforcement agencies and officers.

Law takes effect immediately

The act declares an emergency and takes effect on its passage. These rights and rules apply immediately.
