Senate Bill No. 2800.30, introduced by Senator Morris, aims to establish limitations on the liability of public entities regarding false imprisonment claims involving offenders sentenced to imprisonment. The bill enacts new legal language that defines key terms such as "Department," "Offender," "False imprisonment," and "Bona fide termination." It stipulates that any civil action for damages based on false imprisonment claims must adhere to the provisions of the Prison Litigation Reform Act and requires offenders to pursue challenges related to their sentence calculations through specific judicial channels.

Additionally, the bill introduces a threshold requirement for offenders to obtain a bona fide termination in their favor before bringing civil actions against sheriffs or the Department of Public Safety and Corrections. It specifies that any claims filed while the underlying proceedings are ongoing will be dismissed without prejudice, while those filed after failing to pursue the required procedures will be dismissed with prejudice. The provisions of this Act are set to apply prospectively only.
