In the Senate - Hearing 3/12 at 1:00 p.m.
Summary
The bill bars law‑enforcement from stopping, detaining, or arresting anyone for a civil‑only violation while they are inside a judicial facility or within one mile of it for a court‑related purpose, unless the agency gives prior notice to the judge and does not disrupt proceedings. It also makes any evidence gathered in violation inadmissible and lets victims sue, while allowing the Attorney General to seek injunctions. The measure aims to protect access to justice and prevent intimidation at courthouses.
