Provides civil immunity to licensed health care professionals who provide care at health care facilities for no compensation.
This bill (A 3179) grants civil immunity to licensed health care professionals who provide unpaid care at licensed health care facilities or nonprofit clinics, protecting them from lawsuits for personal injury resulting from that care. It applies to professionals like doctors, nurses, dentists, and therapists who do not bill for or expect payment for their services. The immunity does not cover cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct, as proven by clear evidence. Before providing care, professionals must inform patients about this immunity, and the law takes effect 60 days after enactment.
