An Act to eliminate the charitable immunity cap

This bill aims to remove the legal protection known as charitable immunity for nonprofit organizations in Massachusetts. Currently, charities can limit their liability for injuries caused by their negligence, but this legislation would allow individuals to sue these organizations for damages just as they would with other entities. The change directly affects nonprofits, such as hospitals and schools, by eliminating the specific defense that prevents lawsuits based on their charitable status. As a result, victims of accidents involving these organizations would have a clearer path to seeking compensation for their injuries.
