AI Summary
This bill, the Restitution for Economic losses Caused by Leaders who Allow Insurrection and Mayhem Act (RECLAIM Act), aims to provide civil liability for injuries in "law enforcement free zones" - areas where law enforcement officers are instructed or forced not to operate, except in exceptional circumstances. The bill allows for treble damages against officials who establish or recognize such zones, or prohibit law enforcement from taking action during riots, unless it is to prevent imminent harm to officers. The bill also requires state and local governments receiving certain federal law enforcement grants to take reasonable steps to protect individuals and property from harm during riots, or face reduced funding. Finally, the bill limits eligibility for federal disaster assistance for states or localities that fail to protect individuals and property during riots.
