Existing law does not provide civil immunity to a person providing transportation services to a health care provider

This bill would provide civil immunity to persons who provide transportation to a health care facility or health care provider in certain circumstances

Relating to good Samaritan laws; to provide civil immunity to persons who provide transportation to a health care facility or health care provider in certain circumstances.

Section 1

(a) A person who, in good faith, and not for compensation, provides an individual transportation to a health care facility or health care provider is not subject to civil liability for negligence if the provider could not have reasonably anticipated the particular harm caused by the negligent act while acting in the line and scope of a volunteer in providing transportation, or the act or omission was the result of the provider's willful or wanton misconduct. The immunity provided in this subsection includes transportation from an individual's residence. (b) Acceptance by the transportation provider of a gratuitous contribution or donation made by the individual receiving transportation services does not constitute a waiver of immunity under this section.
