Michigan SB0590 grants immunity from civil liability to individuals who voluntarily apply bleeding control in emergency situations.

Michigan SB0590 amends the state's tort law by adding a new section that provides immunity from civil liability for individuals who, without any duty to do so, voluntarily apply bleeding control in good faith during an emergency medical situation. This immunity applies to actions such as applying pressure, a dressing, packing, or a tourniquet. The immunity does not cover acts or omissions that constitute gross negligence or willful and wanton misconduct. The bill is contingent upon the enactment of Senate Bill No. 591 of the 103rd Legislature.
