The Federal Good Samaritan Act is a scoping statute only.

• A. False
• B. Not applicable to LEOs
• C. True
• D. It provides liability protection

Answer: (C)

The core idea being tested is what a scoping statute does: it sets where and how a particular protection applies rather than creating broad, general rights. The Federal Good Samaritan Act is written to define when Good Samaritan protections apply and to spell out the limits of that protection. In that sense, its primary function is to establish the boundaries of the protection—who is covered, in what situations, and under what conditions. That fits the idea of a scoping statute, so identifying the statement as true aligns with how the act is framed in this context. It does provide liability protection, but only within the defined scope, which is exactly what a scoping statute does.
