Bill overview
This bill changes Michigan’s law regarding liability for individuals providing emergency medical care. Specifically, it offers immunity to people who voluntarily apply bleeding control techniques – such as using pressure, dressings, packing, or tourniquets – in an emergency situation, without a prior duty to do so. The immunity applies unless the action involves gross negligence or willful misconduct. The bill is contingent on the passage of a related bill, HB 4109.
