New lawsuit rights for unlawful property entry

Effective upon passage, the law creates a right to sue individuals acting with government authority for unlawful property entry. Owners, occupants, and people lawfully present with a reasonable expectation of privacy can bring claims. The entry must lack a court-issued warrant, and no court-recognized exception to the warrant rule can apply. Covered places include buildings, land, surrounding private areas, places of worship, schools, medical facilities, and other places with expected privacy. Vehicles are covered on private property or where their owners reasonably expect privacy. This lawsuit is unavailable against anyone subject to suit for the same injury under federal civil-rights law, 42 U.S.C. 1983. Claims must be filed within two years after they arise. Winners can receive money for financial and nonfinancial harm, court orders, and other appropriate relief; courts must award reasonable attorney fees and costs. Someone seeking a court order counts as winning when the lawsuit substantially helped bring about the relief sought. Courts may require plaintiffs to pay a defendant’s reasonable attorney fees and costs for defending claims found frivolous.
