 2        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,

 4        Section 5.  The Good Samaritan Act is amended by changing
 5    Section 2 as follows:

 6        (745 ILCS 49/2)
 7        Sec. 2.  Legislative purpose.  The General  Assembly  has
 8    established   numerous   protections  for  the  generous  and
 9    compassionate acts of its citizens who volunteer  their  time
10    and  talents  to  help  others.   These  protections  or good
11    samaritan provisions have been codified in many Acts  of  the
12    Illinois  Compiled  Statutes.   This  Act recodifies existing
13    good samaritan provisions.  Further, without  limitation  the
14    provisions  of  this  Act  shall  be  liberally  construed to
15    encourage  citizens  persons  to  volunteer  their  time  and
16    talents.
