HB 4108 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Torts: liability; immunity for individuals rendering emergency services who apply bleeding control; provide for. Amends 1963 PA 17 (MCL 691.1501 - 681.1507) by adding sec. 8. TIE BAR WITH: HB 4109'25

HB 4108 amends Michigan's tort law to grant legal immunity to individuals who provide emergency bleeding control during medical crises. It directly protects ordinary citizens (not just professionals) who act in good faith to stop severe bleeding, such as at accident scenes or public events. The key provision shields these helpers from lawsuits for unintentional harm caused while applying bleeding control techniques, like using tourniquets or pressure dressings. This change applies specifically to bleeding control efforts during emergencies, not general emergency assistance.
