Liability Limitations Amendments

Summary

The bill adds an affirmative defense that shields a party from liability in a civil case if the conduct, omission, or condition at issue was authorized or required by a statute, ordinance, rule, permit, license, or other written government instrument. The defense does not apply in product‑liability cases or when the defendant materially violated the government authorization, exceeded its scope, or obtained it by fraud. It also preserves the duty to exercise reasonable care and overrides any conflicting common‑law rules.
