This bill is narrowly drawn and is different from the other bills because victims of negligence will have recourse. It is similar to Good Samaritan State laws that immunize volunteers but fails to immunize them from automobile accidents because there is an expectation that the automobile will have insurance. So victims of the negligence will have recourse. This bill requires insurance so victims, either on the plane or on the ground, will have recourse against the insurance policy but not against the volunteer organization. That is an appropriate balance, and I support the legislation.
