Key points of the bill: - Definition of Health Care Provider: It applies to state-licensed or registered health professionals acting within their scope of practice. - Immunity Granted: Health care providers would generally be shielded from criminal liability related to their professional actions. - Exceptions: Immunity does not cover cases involving gross negligence, wanton or willful misconduct, or malicious or intentional misconduct. - No Impact on Other Laws: The bill does not alter or repeal any existing immunities, defenses, liability limitations, or legal procedures that may exist under other laws or contracts.
