Relating to immunity from criminal liability for certain health care practitioners.
SB 2380 creates new immunity from criminal liability for Texas health care practitioners providing services within their scope of practice. This applies to doctors, nurses, hospital staff, and others working in licensed facilities like hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes. The law grants immunity for unintentional harm but explicitly excludes protection for criminal negligence, recklessness, or intentional acts. The bill would take effect September 1, 2025, unless passed with a two-thirds vote for immediate implementation.
