Bill Summary
Relative to actions against health clubs or their employees that arise in connection with the use or non-use of defibrillators. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill, concerning defibrillators in health clubs, proposes to remove a specific legal protection for these establishments and their employees. Currently, under Section 86 of Chapter 93 of the General Laws, health clubs and their staff are generally shielded from lawsuits related to the use or non-use of a defibrillator, unless it can be proven they acted with gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct. This bill would eliminate that protection, meaning health clubs and their employees could potentially face legal action for issues arising from defibrillator use or non-use even without such a high bar of proof.
