SB 6060 - DIGEST

Provides that, in any tort action filed against a governmental entity or its past or present public officials for conduct in a governmental capacity, no liability may be imposed unless the conduct breached a duty owed to the injured person as an individual, rather than to the public in general. Liability may only be imposed if the claim is based upon an act or failure to act to prevent or diminish harmful consequences of a condition or situation, whether created by acts or omissions intentional or negligent in character, including the violent or tortious conduct of a third person, and the plaintiff shows that the condition or situation was substantially caused by the governmental entity or any person acting on behalf of the governmental entity.

Applies only with regard to a governmental entity that has responsibility for a supervised person in the community charged with or convicted of a crime and not in physical custody or confinement.
