AI Summary
This bill provides immunity from civil liability for individuals who, in good faith and without a duty to do so, voluntarily apply bleeding control measures such as pressure, dressings, packing, or tourniquets to another person in an emergency medical situation, except in cases of gross negligence or willful and wanton misconduct. The bill amends the existing 1963 PA 17 law, which provides civil liability relief for certain persons rendering emergency care or participating in mass immunization programs. The new provision is intended to encourage bystanders to provide potentially life-saving bleeding control in emergency situations.
