Senate Bill 752 amends the Civil Practice and Remedies Code to grant a volunteer health care provider immunity from civil liability for an act or omission that occurs in giving care, assistance, or advice in relation to a disaster that endangers or threatens to endanger individuals, property, or the environment, with certain exceptions. The bill grants a health care institution immunity from civil liability for an act or omission by a volunteer health care provider providing such care, assistance, or advice at the institution's facility or under the institution's direction if the provider qualifies for immunity and the institution does not have an expectation of compensation from or on behalf of the recipient of the services in excess of reimbursement for expenses incurred by the institution in connection with the provision of the services.
