Bill overview
Senate Bill 678 aims to clarify the process for requiring plaintiffs to provide financial security (an ‘undertaking’) in civil lawsuits challenging projects that involve fire prevention activities. Specifically, if a lawsuit is deemed to be delaying or preventing such a project, the defendant can request the court order the plaintiff to pay a bond to cover potential costs and damages. The court can limit the amount of the bond, especially if it would cause the plaintiff significant economic hardship.
