Generally revise civil liability laws
This bill removes the legal right for individuals convicted of a crime to sue for injuries or damages they sustain while committing that crime. It directly affects criminal defendants who might otherwise seek compensation for harm they suffered during the commission of their offense. Under the new law, such individuals cannot file civil lawsuits to recover damages related to their criminal acts. The provision is codified within Montana's existing civil liability statutes to ensure it becomes part of the state's permanent legal framework.
