Bill > HB16

This bill creates a new law in Louisiana that protects nonprofit organizations from legal liability when they donate medical equipment or supplies under specific conditions. The law shields nonprofits from being sued for injuries, deaths, losses, or damages that might result from the subsequent use of donated medical equipment, as long as the equipment was in proper working condition and had not been subject to any product recalls at the time of donation. The only exception to this liability protection is if the nonprofit organization or its employees are found to have caused damage or injury through gross negligence or willful and wanton misconduct. This legislation aims to encourage nonprofits to donate medical supplies without fear of potential legal repercussions, potentially increasing the availability of medical equipment to those in need while still maintaining a basic standard of responsibility for the donating organization.
