    Safe harbor, Are you posting about the Good Samaritan Law?

    New Jersey Good Samaritan Law
    Act2A:62A-1.
    Any individual, including a person licensed to practice any method of
    treatment of human ailments, disease, pain, deformity, mental or physical
    condition, or licensed to render service ancillary thereto, who in good faith
    renders emergency care at the scene of an accident or emergency to the
    victim or victims thereof, shall not be liable for any civil damages as a result
    of any act or omissions by such person in rendering the emergency care.

    Is this what you wanted to know?

    'Safe Harbor" is a regulation in Texas that deals with a nurse refusing to accept an assignment that he/she feels is unsafe. There's protocol to follow, but I was wondering if New Jerey had something similar.
