So why is it that there are hundreds of web sites that call this a
"Good Samaritan Law"? Can you perhaps point us to one that does
satisfy your requirements?


Here's the first one I came across in a Google search.

Calling a law such as the one you described a "Good Samaritan Law" is the
kind of thing the trial lawyers might get away with selling to a gullible
legislature, but it would be pure hokum. It does nothing more than state
what the law is in the absence of the statute.


Your answer sounded like pure hokum.
