Amend the bill by striking out everything after the enacting clause and before the summary and inserting the following:
‘Sec. 1. 14 MRSA §158-C is enacted to read:
§ 158-C. Limited liability of municipality
summary
This amendment is the minority report of the Joint Standing Committee on Judiciary. The amendment replaces the bill, which amends the Maine Tort Claims Act, and instead provides that a municipality is not liable for death, personal injury or property damage suffered by a juvenile or adult who is participating in a supervised work or service program, performing community service or providing restitution or providing volunteer services. The amendment does not create liability for any claim, does not waive any existing immunity and does not affect the application of the workers' compensation laws to volunteer firefighters.
