Bill Summary

For legislation to revise the charitable immunity cap. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill removes the charitable immunity cap, which previously limited the liability of charitable organizations in tort cases. The existing law had a provision that allowed charities to use their charitable status as a defense against tort claims, effectively capping their liability. This bill strikes out that provision, making charities fully liable in tort cases without the ability to claim charitable immunity as a defense.
