AI Summary

This bill seeks to eliminate the charitable immunity defense in certain court actions. It proposes to strike out the existing Section 85K of Chapter 231 of the General Laws, which currently limits the liability of charitable organizations, and replace it with a sentence stating that being a charity shall not constitute a defense to any tort-based cause of action brought against a corporation, trustees of a trust, or members of an association.
