Firearm Immunity Amendments

Summary

HB 534 expands civil immunity so that government agencies, their officers and employees cannot be sued for damages resulting from a lawful firearm discharge on government‑owned, leased or controlled property. It also broadens the definition of “property occupant” to include tenants and legal entities, shielding them from liability for such discharges unless they actively encourage illegal use. The measure aims to protect entities that allow lawful firearm possession while preserving accountability when they facilitate unlawful shootings.
