2005 House Bill 5153

House Roll Call 373: Passed

To establish that a person who uses force as specified in the bill would be justified and immune from criminal prosecution and any civil action for the use of that force, unless the person against whom force was used was a law enforcement officer who was acting in the performance of official duties and identified himself or herself in accord with the law. This would place the “home is my castle” doctrine in statute.
