Bill > S1754

This bill, titled the "Florida Crisis Shelter Protection Act," limits the civil liability of nonprofit organizations that operate crisis shelters and provide temporary housing or support services to program participants (individuals seeking or obtaining temporary housing) without remuneration. The bill defines key terms such as "crisis shelter," "nonprofit organization," "program participant," and "support services." It states that these nonprofit organizations are not liable for civil liability arising from acts or omissions related to providing or failing to provide temporary housing or support services, acts and omissions of other organizations or third parties to whom referrals are made, or acts and omissions of program participants. The bill clarifies that it does not supersede any licensing requirements for social workers, marriage and family therapists, or mental health counselors.
