Bill overview
This bill, the Qualified Immunity Abolition Act of 2026, aims to change how lawsuits against government officials are handled. Specifically, it seeks to remove ‘qualified immunity’ as a defense in civil lawsuits alleging constitutional violations. Qualified immunity currently protects officials from liability unless their actions violate clearly established law. This bill would allow individuals to sue officials for misconduct, even if the official acted in good faith or reasonably believed their actions were lawful.
