California CodesBusiness and Professions Code - BPCDivision 2 — Healing ArtsChapter 6 — NursingArticle 2 — Scope of RegulationSection 2727.5
A person licensed under this chapter who in good faith renders emergency care at the scene of an emergency which occurs outside both the place and the course of that person’s employment shall not be liable for any civil damages as the result of acts or omissions by that person in rendering the emergency care.
This section shall not grant immunity from civil damages when the person is grossly negligent.
Notes
Exempts a chapter-licensed person from civil damages for acts or omissions while rendering emergency care in good faith at an emergency scene occurring outside both the person's workplace and course of employment. Limits the immunity by excluding gross negligence, so civil-damage protection does not apply when the emergency caregiver is grossly negligent.
