Massachusetts H1723 eliminates the charitable immunity cap in tort cases against charities.
Massachusetts H1723 amends Chapter 231 of the General Laws to eliminate the charitable immunity defense in tort cases. This means that charities, their trustees, and members of associations cannot use charitable status as a defense in court actions. The bill targets legal protections that previously shielded charities from certain liability claims, ensuring they are held to the same standards as other entities in tort cases.
