A new law will take its effect from Wednesday for protecting those who break into hot cars to rescue Children and pets.

House Bill 2494, approved by GOV.Doug Ducey in May, prevents the good Samaritans who cause a damage to vehicle during the rescue.

Gov.Doug Ducey has signed the bill HB2494 in may and he said that, “A few minutes is all it takes for a child or pet left in a hot car to die of heat stroke”, That’s a scenario we never want to see happen. With this bill we are protecting the good Samaritans who take action to save a child or pet and sending a signal that breaking car window should be the last consideration when someone’s life is on the line.

In order to come under law, person should believe that the pet or human are in imminent danger, and they have to first call authorities before breaking into the vehicle. They need to remain on scene with the victim until emergency responders arrive.

The rescuer should determine that the car is locked and there is no other possible way to remove the child other than breaking window. The rescuer should believe that should not use more force than necessary in circumstances of entering the car.

This law is one of the many laws that takes its effect on Wednesday.
