This bill establishes that contracts for providing criminal assistance are unlawful and creates a civil right of action for victims of certain criminal conduct. Specifically, it defines "rendering criminal assistance" as any act committed by a person or private entity with the intent to obstruct law enforcement's ability to discover or apprehend an alleged offender, particularly through the concealment, alteration, or destruction of evidence in exchange for compensation. Any agreements, whether written or oral, that involve such actions are declared void and contrary to public policy.

Additionally, the bill allows victims of crimes, who are affected by these unlawful agreements, to file a civil lawsuit against the individuals or entities involved. This right of action is independent of any other legal remedies available and must be initiated within five years of the victim discovering the concealment of the crime. The legislation aims to enhance accountability and deter individuals and entities from obstructing justice, drawing inspiration from similar legislation proposed in New York known as Cassies Law.
