No, it restores, for now, their exposure to civil liability.

  Is that different than being prosecuted for such liability? (Not my field, so perhaps I have terminology wrong)

    Yes. Prosecute = criminal = prison Sue = civil = damages (liability) Edit: unless you are a pedantic ass. They use different definitions.

      This is inaccurate; civil cases are also prosecuted. E.g., from the California Rules of Court, which defines a “civil case” by its prosecution: "Civil case" means a case prosecuted by one party against another for the declaration, enforcement, or protection of a right or the redress or prevention of a wrong. https://www.courts.ca.gov/cms/rules/index.cfm?title=one&linkid=rule1_6 https://www.courts.ca.gov/cms/rules/index.cfm?title=one&link...
