Qualified Immunity Act of 2025

This bill creates a law that protects police officers from being sued in civil court when they are accused of violating people's constitutional rights. Under the bill, officers cannot be sued if the constitutional right they allegedly violated was not clearly established at the time, or if the law was not clear enough that any reasonable officer would have known their actions were wrong. The bill also says that if a court has previously ruled that the specific conduct was constitutional, the officer is protected. This protection applies to federal, state, and local police officers, and it also protects police departments and local governments from being sued if their officers qualify for this immunity.
