Madam and Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 930, H.D. 2, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO VOLUNTEER MEDICAL ASSISTANCE SERVICES,"

 

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

 

     The purpose of this measure is to provide immunity from liability and coverage of medical expenses for licensed medical personnel providing volunteer services on behalf of the State or a county in non-emergency situations, such as school-based immunization clinics.

 

     Your Committee finds that this measure will encourage valuable medical personnel to participate as volunteers on behalf of the State or a county.  Your Committee further finds that this measure is consistent with Good Samaritan practices in other jurisdictions.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by changing its effective date to upon approval.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 930, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 930, H.D. 2, C.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
