Rep. BAXLEY proposed the following Amendment No. 4 (Doc Name L:\council\legis\amend\CYY\16343AC.94).
Amend the bill, as and if amended, by deleting Section 33-56-180 and inserting:
/Section 33-56-180. (A) Any person sustaining an injury or dying by reason
of the tortious act of commission or omission of an employee of a charitable
organization, when the employee is acting within the scope of his employment,
may only recover in an action brought against the charitable organization for
the actual damages he may sustain in an amount not exceeding two hundred fifty
thousand dollars. An action against the charitable organization under this
section constitutes a complete bar to any recovery by the claimant, by reason of
the same subject matter, against the employee of the charitable organization
whose act or omission gave rise to the claim unless it is alleged and proved in
the action that the employee acted in a reckless, wilful, or grossly negligent
manner, and the employee must be properly joined as a party defendant. No
judgment against an employee of a charitable organization may be returned unless
a specific finding is made that the employee acted in a reckless, wilful, or
grossly negligent manner. If the charitable organization for which the employee
was acting cannot be determined at the time the action is instituted, the
plaintiff may name as a party defendant the employee, and the entity for which
the employee was acting must be added or substituted as party defendant when it
can be reasonably determined.
Renumber sections to conform.
Amend title to conform.
