An Act relative to the expansion of the Good Samaritan Law
This bill expands the Good Samaritan Law to protect volunteers who transport people in need. It allows properly licensed individuals or drivers in legally registered insured vehicles to provide free rides to designated destinations without compensation (beyond tolls and parking fees). These volunteers cannot be held liable for harm caused during transport, except in cases of gross negligence or extreme carelessness. The law directly affects community members offering free transportation assistance and ensures legal protection for those acting in good faith.
