Bill summary

Senate amendment makes the following changes to 2nd edition as amended. Removes previous amendment #1, which included a bail bondsman in the definition of law enforcement officer. Rewrites proposed GS 14-51.2 to include new subsection (e1) providing that a person who uses force, as permitted in the statute, is justified in using such force and is immune from civil or criminal liability for the use of such force unless the person against whom the force is used is a bail bondsman acting in the lawful performance of his or her official duties, and who has made his or her status as a bail bondsman known or the person using force should have known the individual was a bail bondsman.
