SB 212 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT PROVIDING IMMUNITY FROM CIVIL LIABILITY TO A PHYSICIAN WHO ACCOMPANIES AND ASSISTS A STATE, REGIONAL OR MUNICIPAL SWAT TEAM.

This bill provides legal protection to physicians who voluntarily offer emergency medical care to state, regional, or municipal SWAT teams during operations. It grants immunity from civil lawsuits for ordinary negligence when a licensed doctor provides such assistance outside their regular employment or practice. The law specifically covers medical aid given during SWAT team law enforcement duties, shielding doctors from liability for unintentional mistakes made while rendering emergency care. This applies only to voluntary, unpaid assistance, not to routine medical practice.
