SB 172 - This act expands the civil immunity for volunteers
of organizations. More organizations are included in the law,
and volunteers transporting the elderly are immune from negligent
actions if they fulfill three conditions: (1) the minimum
financial responsibility requirements of section 303.025, RSMo,
have been met; (2) the volunteer acted in good faith and within
the scope of his services; and (3) the damage or injury was not
caused by the intentional or malicious conduct or the gross
negligence of such volunteer.
