Off-duty law enforcement officers are now shielded from criminal charges and lawsuits when they make a citizen's arrest or help someone else make a lawful arrest. This new immunity applies only when the officer is acting in their personal capacity while off-duty, not as part of their official job responsibilities.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
