SB 55 revises O.C.G.A. § 51-1-20.3, relating to torts and
civil liability. SB 55 allows for a person to be immune from civil liability
for any property damaged from the forcible entry of a vehicle when they:
determine that the vehicle is locked and no reasonable method for the minor to
exit the vehicle; has a good faith belief that forcible entry is necessary to
prevent imminent danger of suffering harm; has notified law enforcement; and notifies
the owner of such vehicles of their contact information. |
