§ 60-3507 Immunity of members from damages.

This rule protects people who serve on a screening panel from being sued for the work they do on that panel. If a panel member makes a decision or recommendation while doing their official job, they cannot be personally sued for damages because of it.

This protection only applies if the panel member acts in good faith and without malice. In other words, they need to be doing their job honestly and without any intent to cause harm. If they meet that standard, they are shielded from personal legal responsibility for their panel-related actions.

The point of this rule is to let panel members do their job without being afraid of getting sued personally every time they make a decision. It encourages people to serve on these panels and make honest recommendations, since they know they won't face a lawsuit just for doing their job the right way.
