Section 603. Immunities.--No person and no governmental or recognized nonprofit health or welfare organization or agency shall be held civilly or criminally liable for any diagnosis, opinion, report or any thing done pursuant to the provisions of this act if he acted in good faith and not falsely, corruptly, maliciously or without reasonable cause; provided, however, that causes of action based upon gross negligence or incompetence shall not be affected by the immunities granted by this section.

Compiler's Note: Section 802(b) of Act 330 of 1978 provided that section 603 is repealed insofar as it is inconsistent with Act 330.

Compiler's Note: Section 4 of Act 152 of 1978 provided that section 603 is repealed insofar as it waives or purports to waive sovereign immunity inconsistent with the Act 152 of 1978 but was saved from repeal insofar as it provides defenses or immunities from suit.
