(1)  A CIVIL ACTION BROUGHT BY A PARTY TO THE
PROCEEDINGS OF THE DENTAL REVIEW COMMITTEE WHO CLAIMS TO BE
AGGRIEVED BY THE DECISION OF THE DENTAL REVIEW COMMITTEE; OR

(2)  ANY RECORD OR DOCUMENT THAT IS CONSIDERED BY
THE DENTAL REVIEW COMMITTEE AND THAT OTHERWISE WOULD BE
SUBJECT TO DISCOVERY AND INTRODUCTION INTO EVIDENCE IN A
CIVIL TRIAL.

(F) IMMUNITY FROM CIVIL LIABILITY.

A PERSON WHO ACTS IN GOOD FAITH AND WITHIN THE SCOPE OF
JURISDICTION OF A DENTAL REVIEW COMMITTEE IS NOT CIVILLY
LIABLE FOR ANY ACTION AS A MEMBER OF THE DENTAL REVIEW
COMMITTEE OR FOR GIVING INFORMATION TO, PARTICIPATING IN, OR
CONTRIBUTING TO THE FUNCTION OF THE DENTAL REVIEW COMMITTEE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 32, § 25B.

The Commission to Revise the Annotated Code calls
to the attention of the General Assembly that
present Art. 32, § 25B(d) states in its first
sentence that certain documents are privileged
from discovery and admission into evidence and
then in its third sentence provides for an
exception that seemingly is equally as broad as
the privilege. The revised language in this
section closely follows the present law.
However, the Commission believes that present
Art. 32, § 25B(d), and, in turn, this section,
may not state the intention of the General
Assembly.
