AN ACT RELATING TO CRIMINAL PROCEDURE -- PROTECT OUR COURTS ACT

Summary

The law gives people attending court – including parties, witnesses, victims and their families – immunity from civil arrests while traveling to, being in, or leaving a proceeding, unless a judge has issued a warrant. It lets those individuals or the attorney general sue for relief if the rule is broken, and lets courts set rules for law‑enforcement conduct inside courthouses. The measure aims to keep courts accessible and orderly.
