Regards civil actions for injury or loss due to vandalism or riot
This bill expands legal options for individuals who suffer injury or property damage during vandalism or riots by allowing them to file civil lawsuits against offenders and those who provided support for the acts. It enables victims to seek full compensation for damages, emotional distress, and legal fees, while also permitting courts to order offenders to personally repair damaged property or pay for the repairs. The legislation includes a specific provision holding parents financially responsible for damages caused by their minor children in these situations and protects law enforcement officials from retaliation if they enforce restrictions on riot or vandalism activities.
