Bill > A08130

This bill prohibits the use of qualified immunity as a defense for public officials who deprive individuals of their rights under the federal or state constitution or laws. It authorizes the Attorney General to bring civil actions for legal or equitable relief against such officials, and specifies that statutory immunities and limitations on liability, damages, or attorney's fees do not apply to these claims. The bill aims to hold public officials accountable for violations of individual rights, even if the specific rights were not clearly established at the time of the violation.
