Section 6-5-336 Volunteers. (a) This section shall be known as "The Volunteer Service
Act." (b) The Legislature finds and declares that: (1) The willingness of volunteers
to offer their services has been increasingly deterred by a perception that they put personal
assets at risk in the event of tort actions seeking damages arising from their activities

time provide a reasonable basis for redress of claims which may arise relating to those services.
(c) For the purposes of this section, the meaning of the terms specified shall...
