Liability protection for 988, 211, 911 staff

The law shields people who work for or contract with 988, 211, or 911. It applies when you give behavioral health help or other services through these systems. You are not liable for civil damages from those services unless your conduct is gross negligence or willful and wanton misconduct. The law does not change any state or local government immunities and does not create new claims against them.
