AI Summary
This bill, in civil cases involving personal injury or wrongful death, prohibits the introduction of evidence about a person's immigration status and prevents any attempts to discover this information. This means that a person's immigration status cannot be used against them in court in these types of lawsuits, nor can lawyers ask questions or request documents to find out about it. The bill clarifies that these new restrictions do not change the existing rules for what evidence is considered relevant or admissible, or how discovery is conducted, under other specific laws.
