The bill removes immunity from civil liability for individuals using force in certain circumstances.

  • NRS 41.095

    Force which is intended or likely to cause death or bodily injury is immune from civil liability in an action to recover damages for personal injuries to or the wrongful death of a person against whom such force was used if the use of such force was justified under the applicable provisions of chapter 200 of NRS relating to the use of such force.

    This change means individuals can be held civilly liable for using force, where previously they had immunity.
