Immunity from criminal liability provided for health care providers when performing health treatment and services.

HF 1647 grants licensed health care providers in Minnesota immunity from criminal liability when delivering health treatment and services within their professional scope and state law. This applies to harm alleged to arise from their actions during treatment, directly affecting doctors, nurses, and other licensed providers. The bill explicitly excludes immunity for cases involving gross negligence, intentional misconduct, or malicious acts. It does not change civil liability or existing legal defenses for providers. The law modifies Minnesota Statutes chapter 145 to establish this immunity.
