State law currently includes a “good Samaritan” provision that extends legal immunity to a person rendering aid at the scene of an accident or other emergency. LB832, introduced by Brainard Sen. Bruce Bostelman, expands the definition to include entering a vehicle to remove a child to avoid immediate harm.
The bill passed on a 46-0 vote.
