ARBITRATOR IMMUNITY

Amends the Uniform Arbitration Act. Provides that an arbitrator acting in that capacity is immune from civil liability, is not competent to testify, and may not be required to produce records as to any statement, conduct, decision, or ruling occurring during the arbitration proceeding to the same extent as a judge acting in a judicial capacity. Sets forth exceptions. Provides that the immunity supplements any immunity under other law. Provides that, if a person commences a civil action against an arbitrator arising from the services of the arbitrator or if a person seeks to compel an arbitrator to testify or produce records in violation of the new provisions, the arbitrator is entitled to reasonable attorney's fees and expenses of litigation.
