AB 88: Relating to: civil action for injury or damages resulting from riot or vandalism, participation in a riot, prohibiting certain limitations or restrictions on law enforcement responses to riot or vandalism activity, and providing a penalty.

AB 88 addresses civil actions and law enforcement responses related to riot and vandalism activities.
