Definition of "Volunteer protection laws"
Mary Jones, Real Estate Agent

laws enacted by all of the 50 states whose purpose it is to reduce or eliminate the volunteer's civil liability exposure. An ideal law would exclude the volunteer from civil liability resulting from actions taken within the volunteer's official capacity unless the damage and/or injury caused was the result of a willful act by the volunteer.
