Torts: governmental immunity; exemption from governmental immunity for harassment at school; provide for. Amends sec. 7 of 1964 PA 170 (MCL 691.1407).
This bill amends Michigan's governmental immunity laws to explicitly exempt school employees and volunteers from liability when they are sued for harassment. It clarifies that this exemption applies regardless of whether the conduct is considered discretionary or ministerial, provided the individual was acting within their authority and did not commit gross negligence. The legislation also maintains existing protections for judges, legislators, and medical personnel while defining specific terms like "gross negligence" and "tactical operation." Ultimately, the measure aims to remove barriers that might prevent victims of school harassment from seeking legal recourse against public officials.
