A 2651 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides civil immunity to licensed health care professionals who provide care at health care facilities for no compensation.

This bill grants legal protection to licensed healthcare professionals who provide uncompensated care at hospitals or nonprofit clinics. It shields them from lawsuits for personal injury resulting from that free care, unless proven to stem from extreme carelessness or intentional misconduct. Before treatment, professionals must inform patients about this immunity. The law applies to doctors, nurses, dentists, therapists, and other licensed providers who volunteer services without billing or expecting payment.
