The Supreme Court ruled that tens of thousands of local lawmakers cannot be sued for their votes even with illegal or discriminatory motives. The unanimous decision grants absolute immunity to local legislators while preserving lawsuits against cities and officials for administrative actions. Coralville City Administrator Kelly Hayworth and Washington Mayor Ed Brown welcomed the ruling as it protects officials from personal liability and aids recruiting for public service.
