Protecting self-defense-reimbursement and amendments.

Summary

The bill adds new statutes that require counties to pay back reasonable costs—such as attorney fees, bail, and lost‑time expenses—to anyone whose criminal case is dismissed or who is acquitted because they reasonably used self‑defense. It also gives those individuals a fee‑free way to petition the court to expunge all records of the arrest and prosecution. The measures aim to lessen the financial and reputational burden on people who act lawfully in self‑defense.
