Relating to civil liability for removing certain individuals or animals from a motor vehicle.

HB 77 creates legal immunity for people who enter a locked motor vehicle to rescue a vulnerable individual (like a child under 7 or someone with a disability who can't protect themselves) or a domestic animal (such as a pet dog or cat). To qualify for this protection, rescuers must confirm the vehicle is locked or no exit method exists, believe entry is necessary to prevent immediate harm, notify law enforcement or 911 first (unless they're a first responder), use only necessary force, and stay with the person or animal until help arrives. The law applies only to incidents occurring after its effective date and does not cover cases where police advised against entry. This directly affects bystanders who might make such rescues, shielding them from civil lawsuits if they follow the specified procedures.
