Bill > H1315

This bill amends Chapter 111 of the General Laws by adding a new section, Section 25Q, which addresses liability for medical costs incurred by public health volunteer responders, specifically members of the Massachusetts Medical Reserve Corps. The key provision states that these volunteers must show proof of medical insurance as required by Massachusetts law. Furthermore, when activated for duty and in the absence of other legal protections, these volunteers will not be personally responsible for medical costs resulting from injuries sustained while acting in good faith during the performance of their duties. This aims to protect volunteers from financial burdens related to injuries sustained while serving the public.
