Virginia SB228 allows localities to provide liability insurance for emergency medical services personnel.
Virginia SB228 permits localities and political subdivisions to offer liability insurance or self-insurance for emergency medical services agency and training program directors, officers, employees, and volunteers. This insurance covers acts or omissions within their official duties, excluding those outside employment scope, malicious acts, gross negligence, or willful misconduct. The provision of such insurance is considered a waiver of sovereign immunity, allowing judgments or awards against these individuals to exceed the combined total coverage if applicable.
