AI Summary
This bill requires the trier of fact to consider the comparative fault of all persons who contributed to an injury in an action for damages against the owner, lessor, operator, or manager of commercial or real property brought by a person injured by a criminal act of a third party while lawfully on the property. The bill also provides a presumption against liability for the owner or operator of a multifamily complex, defined as a residential building or group of residential buildings with at least five dwelling units, if they substantially implement certain safety and security measures, such as security cameras, lighting, and access control devices. The owner or operator can maintain this presumption even if they deviate from the specified measures if it is pursuant to a recent security assessment.
