Amends the Good Samaritan Act to exempt licensed health care providers from civil liability for voluntary, noncompensated services unless due to.
Illinois SB3747 amends the Good Samaritan Act to provide that a licensed health care provider who offers medical services voluntarily and without compensation or the expectation of compensation, and does not seek reimbursement from charitable or governmental sources, is not liable for civil damages from any act or omission unless it results from gross negligence or willful misconduct. The bill requires written notice and consent for voluntary, noncompensated services in nonemergency situations, which can be provided through an electronic medical record device.
