The bill establishes that individuals who are convicted of a crime and sustain injuries or damages while committing that crime will not have the legal right to seek damages through a lawsuit. This new provision aims to clarify that those engaged in criminal activity cannot claim compensation for injuries incurred during the commission of their offenses.
Additionally, the bill includes a codification instruction, indicating that the new section will be integrated into Title 27, chapter 1, part 5 of the Montana legal code. This ensures that the provisions outlined in the bill will be applicable and enforceable within the existing legal framework.
