"The Expanding Charitable and Volunteer Opportunities Act first prevents a business from being subject to civil liability when a piece of equipment or facility has been loaned by a business entity to a nonprofit organization for charitable purposes, unless the business has engaged in gross negligence or intentional misconduct. This provision passed the House of Representatives as part of broader legislation in the 107th Congress....the Expanding Charitable and Volunteer Opportunities Act encourages physicians to volunteer their services to community health centers by extending to them medical liability protections. Volunteer physicians would receive medical liability protections so they may continue to efficiently offer primary and preventive health care services to everyone, including low-income, underinsured, and uninsured families."
