This bill proposes to provide immunity from criminal liability for health care providers in Minnesota when they are delivering health treatment and services. It introduces a new section in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 145, specifically designated as [145.686]. The bill defines a "health care provider" as a licensed or registered health professional who operates within their scope of practice according to state law.

Under the new provisions, health care providers will be immune from criminal liability for any harm or damages that may arise from their actions or omissions while providing health treatment and services, with certain exceptions. Specifically, the immunity does not apply in cases of gross negligence, willful misconduct, or intentional violations of the law. Additionally, the bill clarifies that it does not alter any existing legal immunities or defenses available under other laws or contracts.
