An Act removing the charitable immunity cap

This bill removes the legal limit on how much money charitable organizations can be held liable for in tort cases, such as accidents or injuries. Directly affected entities include non-profit corporations, trusts, and associations that operate as charities in Massachusetts. By amending Section 85K of the state's General Laws, the measure ensures that being a charity is no longer a defense against lawsuits seeking damages for negligence or other wrongful acts. Consequently, these organizations could face unlimited financial responsibility if a court rules in favor of an injured plaintiff.
