The bill aims to provide legal immunity from civil liability for individuals who forcibly enter a locked motor vehicle to rescue vulnerable persons or domestic animals. It introduces new definitions for "domestic animal," "motor vehicle," and "vulnerable person" within the context of the law. A "domestic animal" is defined as a household pet, excluding livestock, while a "vulnerable person" includes minors and individuals with impairments that affect their daily living activities.

To qualify for immunity, the person must determine that the vehicle is locked or that the vulnerable individual or animal cannot exit without assistance. They must also have a reasonable belief that the situation poses imminent danger, notify law enforcement or call 911 before or immediately after entering the vehicle, use only necessary force to gain entry, and stay with the rescued individual or animal until help arrives. This legislation is designed to encourage timely rescues while protecting good Samaritans from potential legal repercussions.
