This bill establishes that any contracts or agreements to provide criminal assistance, defined as acts intended to obstruct law enforcement from discovering or apprehending alleged offenders, are void and contrary to public policy. Specifically, it targets actions involving the concealment, alteration, or destruction of evidence in exchange for monetary or non-monetary compensation. The bill also creates a civil right of action for victims of such criminal conduct, allowing them to sue individuals or private entities involved in these agreements.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that victims can bring a civil action against the parties involved in the unlawful agreement within five years of discovering the concealment of a crime. This cause of action is independent of any other legal remedies available under existing laws, ensuring that victims retain all rights to seek justice. The legislation is inspired by similar proposals in New York, known as Cassies Law, and is intended to strengthen the legal framework against those who assist in criminal activities by obstructing justice.
