MI HB4829

Reduces the threshold for physician immunity from professional negligence at health facilities from 75% to 60% of annual care provided to medically indigent individuals.

Provides liability immunity for volunteer physicians with special volunteer licenses who provide care at qualifying health facilities and receive no compensation for their services.

Excludes gross negligence from immunity protection, defining gross negligence as conduct so reckless as to demonstrate substantial lack of concern for whether injury results.

Expands the definition of "medically indigent individual" to include those with annual household income below 150% of federal poverty guidelines, rather than using only the Social Welfare Act definition.
