An act relating to prohibiting civil arrest in sensitive locations

Summary

The bill makes it illegal to arrest someone for civil‑process reasons while they are traveling to, inside, or leaving a court, a state or local government building, a school, a community shelter or emergency housing, or a health‑care facility. Exceptions apply only for arrests on a judicial warrant, for contempt, or to keep order and safety in a courtroom. Violators can face contempt sanctions and civil lawsuits, and the Attorney General may sue to enforce the rule.
