EXPLANATION – Matter in bolded italics is new; matter between brackets [omitted material] is material to be omitted.
AN ACT relating to civil liability; providing immunity from civil
liability to certain persons authorized to provide certain
care pursuant to an agreement between a hospital and the
Armed Forces of the United States; and providing other
matters properly relating thereto.
Legislative Counsel’s Digest:
Existing law authorizes a hospital to enter into an agreement with the Armed 1
Forces of the United States for the provision of certain care under certain 2
circumstances. (NRS 449.2455) Under existing law, an immune contractor of the 3
State or any of its agencies or political subdivisions is immune from civil liability 4
for certain acts or omissions of the contractor. (NRS 41.032) This bill revises the 5
applicable definition of “immune contractor” to include any person authorized to 6
provide care pursuant to an agreement between a hospital and the Armed Forces of 7
the United States. This bill thereby makes a person authorized to provide care 8
pursuant to any such agreement immune from civil liability for certain acts or 9
omissions of the person. 10
