Bill Summary
This bill amends the provision of law declaring that charitable immunity, generally insulating various nonprofit organizations from lawsuits, does not apply in certain civil actions concerning the negligent hiring, supervision, or retention of an employee, agent, or servant that resulted in a sexual offense being committed. The current law makes the charitable immunity exception applicable when the sexual offense is committed against a person under the age of 18 who was a beneficiary of the nonprofit organization. The bill extends this exception to a person of any age who was a beneficiary of the nonprofit organization. The sponsor notes that all persons should be afforded the same remedy. A claim in any civil action that a nonprofit organization's negligent hiring, supervision, or retention of an employee, agent, or servant resulted in the commission of a sexual offense should be actionable regardless of the age of the victim.
