Civil procedure: civil actions; immunity from civil action for individual who uses force in compliance with self-defense act; provide for. Amends secs. 2922b & 2922c of 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.2922b & 600.2922c).

House Bill 4404 grants civil immunity to individuals who use or threaten to use deadly or non-deadly force in self-defense or defense of another, provided they acted in compliance with the state's self-defense act. This means they cannot be sued for civil damages, such as personal injury or death, by the person against whom force was used or by related parties. The bill establishes a presumption of immunity if criminal proceedings related to the force used resulted in actions like a grand jury declining indictment or a criminal charge being dismissed or leading to acquittal. Additionally, if an individual is sued and found to be immune under these provisions, the court must award them attorney fees, court costs, lost income, and other expenses.
