Bill Summary

Relating to civil liability for injury of a protestor by the operator of a motor vehicle.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code to provide civil liability protection for the operator of a motor vehicle who injures a protestor blocking traffic in a public right-of-way, as long as the motor vehicle operator was exercising due care. The protection does not apply if the motor vehicle operator's conduct was grossly negligent. The bill specifies that the change in law applies only to causes of action that accrue on or after the effective date of the bill, which is either immediately or September 1, 2017, depending on the vote of the legislature.
