This bill proposes the addition of a new section to Minnesota Statutes, chapter 145, which provides immunity from criminal liability for health care providers when they are delivering health treatment and services. The bill defines a "health care provider" as a licensed or registered health professional operating within their scope of practice according to state law. It establishes that these providers will be immune from criminal liability for any harm or damages that may arise from their actions or omissions in the course of providing health care, with specific exceptions for cases of gross negligence, intentional misconduct, or violations of law.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that this immunity does not alter or repeal any existing legal protections or procedures related to liability that may be available under other laws or contracts. This legislative measure aims to protect health care providers from criminal prosecution while ensuring accountability in cases of serious misconduct.
