A bill to amend 1963 PA 17, entitled “An act to relieve certain persons from civil liability when rendering emergency care, when rendering care to persons involved in competitive sports under certain circumstances, or when participating in a mass immunization program approved by the department of public health,” (MCL 691.1501 to 691.1507) by adding section 8.
Senate Bills 590 and 591 expand Michigan’s Good Samaritan and emergency response protections by granting civil immunity to individuals who voluntarily provide bleeding control assistance and clarifying that health club personnel are not obligated to render aid to AED users, with both measures contingent on related legislation to enhance legal clarity and public safety.
