Bill Summary
For legislation relative to the limitation of tort liability on charitable organizations. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to remove the charitable immunity cap, which currently limits the tort liability of charitable organizations in the state of Massachusetts. Specifically, the bill amends the existing law to strike out the first paragraph, which provided a defense for charitable organizations against tort actions, and replaces it with a new sentence stating that being a charity shall not constitute a defense to any cause of action based on tort brought against a corporation, trustees of a trust, or members of an association.
