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 charities in tort lawsuits. Specifically, it amends the existing law to strike out the first paragraph that provided a defense for charities against tort-based causes of action, effectively eliminating the charitable immunity cap. This change ensures that charities can be held fully accountable for any tort-based claims brought against them, rather than having their liability limited.
