Introduced Text

Exempts individuals from prosecution for certain crimes if the evidence was obtained through reporting the crime.

The bill provides immunity from prosecution for individuals who report crimes, including possession of a controlled substance, sex for fee, loitering, trespassing, soliciting, and conspiracy to commit these offenses. This immunity applies if the evidence for these offenses was obtained through the reporting of a crime. The protection remains even if the reporting individual later withdraws their cooperation with law enforcement. The bill does not require the reported crime to be prosecuted or result in a conviction for the immunity to apply.
