HOUSE LAWMAKERS PASSED A BILL THURSDAY PROTECTING GOOD SAMARITANS RESCUING A DOG OR CAT LOCKED IN A HOT CAR.
THE MEASURE PROVIDES SOME LIABILITY RELIEF FOR SOMEONE WHO MUST BREAK A WINDOW TO FREE A DOG OR CAT IN SERIOUS DANGER. IT’S SPONSORED BY REPRESENTATIVE DAVID OLSEN OF DOWNERS GROVE WHO SAYS THE GOOD SAMARITAN MUST STILL TREAD CAREFULLY.
THE SENATE AND GOVERNOR MUST ALSO APPROVE THE LEGISLATION BEFORE IT BECOMES LAW.
