This bill protects insurance companies and their inspectors from being sued over boiler inspections they conduct as part of issuing or renewing boiler insurance policies, unless the insurance company was grossly negligent. The new law shields insurers, their agents, and employees from liability claims for mistakes or failures during these inspections, with the exception that they can still be held responsible if their gross negligence directly caused an injury, death, or loss.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
