House Bill 654 amends the Insurance Code to authorize insurers and self-insurance trusts to offer professional liability insurance that covers certain volunteer health care providers for an act or omission that results in death, damage, or injury to a patient while the provider is performing volunteer duties. The bill provides that such insurance does not affect the liability of a provider who is a direct service volunteer of a charitable organization.
