Book excerpt: The enactment of 1980 Senate Bill No. 657 would have rendered charitable organizations immune from negligence suits resulting from their distribution of free food which caused death or personal injury when consumed. The measure also would have granted similar immunity to the donors of such food, but in neither case would such immunity have extended to harm stemming from gross negligence, recklessness or intentional misconduct. Such grants of immunity are in violation of Section 18 of the Kansas Bill of Rights, which guarantees all persons who suffer injury a remedy by due course of law, and would therefore be unconstitutional if enacted.
