Under the bill, people will now be protected against legal action by a car’s owner if they smash a window or break into a hot vehicle to rescue a person or animal in distress.
Those breaking into a vehicle must call 911 immediately after saving the person or animal and must remain with the vehicle until first responders arrive in order to be protected.
