SB 66 - This act provides that the perpetrator of certain
violent crimes assumes the risk of any injuries resulting from
his acts. The crime victim is immune from liability for any civil
damages as a result of the acts or omissions of the victim,
unless the force used by the victim was not justifiable. The
bill is identical to SB 955 from 1998.
