Dear Representatives Ruiz and Bucshon:
On behalf of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) and the Congress of Neurological
Surgeons (CNS), we are pleased to support H.R. 6283, the Good Samaritan Health Professionals Act of 2020,
and extend our offer to help advance this critical legislation.
As you know, your bill is designed to provide professional liability protections to health professionals, including
physicians, who volunteer to assist victims of federally-declared disasters. Swift and timely medical response
