Kentucky HB84 amends legal liability for local governments in cases of riot or tumultuous assemblage.
Kentucky HB84 modifies the legal liability for local governments when damage occurs during a riot or tumultuous assemblage. It specifies that a local government is liable for damages if authorities had notice or reason to believe a riot was imminent but failed to prevent it. However, no liability is incurred if authorities had no such notice or reason. The bill also clarifies that individuals who unlawfully contribute to the riot cannot claim damages. The definition of "local government" is expanded to include various types of local governing bodies.
