CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 706 - This act provides that no charitable organization, or an employee or a volunteer thereof, shall be held civilly liable for making a good faith disclosure reasonably believed to be true regarding an allegation that an individual has:
(1) Engaged in sexual misconduct;
(2) Sexually abused another individual;
(3) Sexually harassed another individual; or
(4) Committed certain sexual offenses.
Furthermore, this act provides that the liability protections shall not apply to a person who reports their own sexual abuse, sexual harassment, or sexual offenses, or who acts in bad faith or with malicious purpose in making a disclosure.
This act is similar to HB 753 (2025).
