SB 521 - Under current law certain medical professionals, individuals with first aid training, or in cases of suicide attempts, any other individual renders emergency care or assistance at a scene of an emergency or accident, then such individual shall not liable for any civil damages except if damages are caused by gross negligence or willful or wanton acts. This act expands such liability protections to any person rendering emergency care or assistance. This act is identical to a provision in the truly agreed to and finally passed SS/SCS/HB 225 (2025), in the truly agreed to and finally passed SS/SCS/SB 271 (2025), and is substantially similar to a provision in HCS/SS/SB 7 (2025) and HB 738 (2025).
