Bill > HB2088

This bill extends liability protections for responders dispatched from mobile rapid response crisis teams and community-based crisis teams. It provides immunity from liability for acts or omissions related to the provision of crisis stabilization services, professional on-site community-based intervention, outreach, de-escalation, stabilization, resource connection, and follow-up support, as long as they are done in good faith and within the scope of the individual's employment responsibilities. The protections cover crisis team staff, public agency officers and staff, and employees of governmental and contracted behavioral health agencies involved in transporting patients to behavioral health services or providing other needed crisis services.
