Locations where certain arrests can be made restricted.

This bill restricts civil arrests against individuals attending state court proceedings, including parties, witnesses, and their supporters, while they are traveling to, inside, or returning from a courthouse. It defines "civil arrest" as any detention that is not for a criminal offense, a probation violation, or based on a court warrant, and it extends protection to areas within 1,000 feet of the courthouse. If someone violates this rule, they can be sued for damages of up to $10,000 plus legal fees, though criminal arrests and court orders to maintain safety remain unaffected. The law applies to all state courts and does not allow lawsuits against court staff acting to preserve order.
