SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Wildlife rehabilitators. Provides civil immunity to wildlife rehabilitators who are permitted by the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. The immunity is related to damages from acts and omissions resulting from the provision of free assistance or advice in the care of wildlife that has been orphaned or injured or is danger of injury (except from lawful hunting) due to its location. Immunity will not apply in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct. Volunteers working directly under the supervision of a permitted rehabilitator are extended immunity as well.
