Title
First responders; immunize certain community emergency responders from civil liability for rendering aid
Description

Under existing law, when health care providers, law enforcement officers, firefighters, and other first responders render first aid or other help to individuals affected by an emergency or a disaster, they are shielded from civil liability arising from their assistance.

This bill would specify that individuals who are part of a community emergency response team are protected from civil liability if they have completed a community emergency response team program that is recognized by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
