SB 195 shifts the burden of proof in self-defense immunity cases by requiring prosecutors to prove "by clear and convincing evidence" that a defendant is not entitled to self-defense immunity, rather than requiring the defendant to prove they qualify for immunity. The bill also requires courts to award a defendant's attorney's fees, court costs, and other expenses if they're found immune from prosecution in civil cases.
