Bill Summary
Relative to limited civil liability for sports officials. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill provides limited civil liability protection for sports officials in Massachusetts. It specifies that sports officials, such as referees and umpires, who are duly registered or members of a sports organization, shall not be liable for injuries or damages related to their officiating duties within the athletic facility. However, the bill does not grant this protection if the officials' actions were intentional, willful, wanton, reckless, malicious, or grossly negligent. The bill takes effect immediately and applies to all lawsuits filed after its effective date, including those alleging actions or inactions that occurred prior to the effective date.
