This bill proposes to establish immunity from criminal liability for health care providers in Minnesota when they are providing health treatment and services. It introduces a new section in the Minnesota Statutes, specifically chapter 145, which defines a "health care provider" as a licensed or registered health professional acting within their scope of practice. The bill stipulates that health care 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 exceptions for cases of gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

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