SB 783 - Under current law, a person may use deadly force against a person who unlawfully enters or attempts to unlawfully enter a dwelling, residence, or vehicle lawfully occupied by such person. This act adds that a person may also use deadly force against a person who unlawfully enters a place of employment, retail establishment, or other place of business in which the individual using such force has a right to be.
Additionally, a person has no duty to retreat from a place of employment where the person is not unlawfully entering or remaining.
This act is identical to SB 262 (2023), SB 1134 (2022), and HB 2679 (2022).
