15 Section 1. Section 252.515, Florida Statutes, is created to
16 read:
17 252.515 Postdisaster Relief Assistance Act; immunity from
18 civil liability.—
19 (1) This section may be cited as the “Postdisaster Relief
20 Assistance Act.”
21 (2) Any person who gratuitously and in good faith provides
22 temporary housing, food, water, or electricity to emergency
23 first responders or the immediate family members of emergency
24 first responders in response to an emergency situation related
25 to and arising out of a public health emergency declared
26 pursuant to s. 381.00315 or a state of emergency declared
27 pursuant to s. 252.36 may not be held liable for any civil
28 damages as a result of providing the temporary housing, food,
29 water, or electricity unless the person acts in a manner that
30 demonstrates a reckless disregard for the consequences of
31 another.
