Overview
Text
Bill Intelligence

The bill aims to abolish qualified immunity for federal, state, and local law enforcement officers. It states that it will not be a defense in civil actions that the officer was acting in good faith, believed their conduct was lawful, or that the laws were unclear. It also allows civil action against federal law enforcement officers acting under federal authority. If passed, this bill will impact the legal defense available to law enforcement officers in civil cases, by removing qualified immunity as a defense for actions taken in the line of duty.
