Civil practice; affirmative defenses; limitation of liability for damages sustained for obstructing traffic for the obstruction of vehicle traffic, established

Summary

The bill lets a defendant in a personal injury, wrongful death, or property‑damage lawsuit claim that the plaintiff was hurt while the defendant was deliberately obstructing a public road, highway, bridge, or street. If the defense is raised, the court must pause the civil case while any related criminal case proceeds. This limits liability for people who block traffic under the specified actions.
