Exempts volunteers in recreational activities from civil liability while providing services or assistance to players or participants.

This bill amends the not-for-profit corporation law and the general obligations law to exempt volunteers in recreational activities from civil liability while providing services or assistance to players or participants. This includes little league coaches, managers, assistants, and members of the board of directors. The exemption applies to acts of commission or omission arising out of or in the course of rendering such services or assistance during competitive games and practices. However, it does not grant immunity for willful, wanton, or grossly negligent acts.
