SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Health professions; volunteers. Expands the immunity from liability protections for medical officers and dentists on active duty with the U.S. armed services and assigned to any military hospital or medical facility. This bill strikes the requirement for such medical officers and dentists to be serving in a military facility located in Virginia for these professionals to be deemed to be licensed in the Commonwealth for the purpose of providing immunity from liability for services provided free of charge at any clinic which is organized for the delivery of health care services without charge. Current law requires that these individuals must be assigned to a military facility located in the Commonwealth.
