Plain-language change summary

The latest version of Senate Bill 992 expands on definitions related to tort liability, adding clarity about what constitutes "bodily injury," "criminal act of another," and "property damage." These definitions help clarify the circumstances under which certain individuals may be held civilly liable, particularly when actions relate to another person's criminal conduct. This change matters because it aims to protect individuals from liability in situations where they aren't directly responsible for harm, potentially encouraging more people to act in emergency situations without fear of legal repercussions.
