Bill overview
This bill, S.1193, aims to eliminate a limit on the legal protection (charitable immunity) that Massachusetts charities have from being sued for damages. Currently, charities are shielded from liability for certain types of harm caused by their activities, but there’s a cap on the amount they can be held responsible for. Removing this cap would allow individuals who have been harmed by a charity’s actions to pursue legal claims for a greater extent. The bill is currently in the legislative process.
