An Act relative to the expansion of the Good Samaritan Law

This bill expands Massachusetts' Good Samaritan Law to protect individuals who voluntarily transport needy people in their private vehicles. It allows properly licensed persons from recognized organizations and private individuals to move those in need to a specific destination without compensation, covering only tolls and parking fees. Under the new provisions, these drivers would not be held legally responsible for harm caused during transport unless the injury resulted from gross negligence or willful misconduct. The measure aims to encourage private citizens to assist others in emergencies by providing them with legal immunity against liability claims.
