Under existing law, certain persons in certain circumstances are granted civil immunity for their actions.
This bill would provide civil immunity to any person who volunteers without cost to provide temporary care under the direction of the primary home caregiver for a person who has a disability or a chronic illness. A volunteer who, in good faith, performs the care without making any charge for goods or services therefor may not be liable for any civil damages as a result of any act or omission by the volunteer in rendering the care or as a result of any act or failure to act to provide or arrange for care for the person with a disability or a chronic illness, if the volunteer acts as a reasonably prudent person would have acted under the same or similar circumstances.
