PARTIES TO ACTIONS -- Adds to existing law to provide civil immunity for architects and engineers during disasters.
AI Summary
This bill adds a new section to existing Idaho law to provide civil immunity for architects and engineers who voluntarily provide professional design services without compensation during a declared national, state, or local emergency caused by a disaster or catastrophic event, such as a tornado, fire, or explosion. The immunity applies for up to 90 days following the end of the declared emergency, unless extended by the governor. However, the immunity does not apply if the injury, death, or damage is the result of unreasonable acts, gross negligence, or willful or wanton misconduct by the architect or engineer.
