Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to civil actions; providing that peace officers are immune from civil liability under certain circumstances; and providing other matters properly relating thereto.
AI Summary
This bill provides immunity from civil liability to peace officers for damages based solely on the deprivation of rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Nevada Constitution, under certain circumstances. Specifically, the bill states that no action may be brought against a peace officer for such damages unless the right was clearly established at the time of the alleged violation and no reasonable peace officer could have concluded that the conduct was lawful, or a court had issued a final decision on the merits holding the specific conduct unlawful. The bill also requires the plaintiff to state the facts and circumstances of the alleged violation and the right that was clearly established. The bill applies to causes of action accruing on or after the effective date of the legislation.
