Petition Action

Consider passing a Good Samaritan Act during CV-19

Petition Details

Please consider passing a temporary Good Samaritan Act, in order to protect people who are providing aid during the current crisis. People providing aid during the current crisis do not want to be held liable for any unintended consequences of providing aid and assistance.

Additional Information

As it stands, people who provide help may be legally liable for unintended consequences of providing aid and assistance, and may therefore be worried about providing help. A Good Samaritan law could offer legal protection to people who give reasonable assistance to those who are, or whom they believe to be, injured, ill, in peril, or otherwise incapacitated.
