This bill establishes that any contracts or agreements to provide criminal assistance, defined as acts intended to conceal, alter, or destroy evidence related to a crime in exchange for compensation, are void and contrary to public policy. It specifically targets individuals or private entities that engage in such activities with the intent to obstruct law enforcement efforts in apprehending alleged offenders. The bill clarifies that these agreements, whether written or oral, are not legally enforceable.

Additionally, the bill grants victims of crimes the right to pursue civil action against individuals or private entities involved in these unlawful agreements. This right of action is independent of any other legal remedies available to victims and must be initiated within five years of the victim discovering the concealment of the crime. The legislation aims to strengthen accountability for those who attempt to obstruct justice and is inspired by similar legislation proposed in New York, known as Cassies Law.
