insert the following:
(C) in the course of providing health care services that
are within the scope of the license, registration, or
certification of the volunteer, as defined by--
(i) the State in which the medical services are received or
in which the act or omission occurs; or
(ii) in the case of medical services received in, or an act
or omission that occurs in, a State other than the State in
which the health care professional is licensed, registered,

(D) in a good faith belief that the individual being
treated is in need of health care services.
(b) Out-of-State Providers.--Notwithstanding any other
provision of law, a health care provider may provide health
care services in a State, even though the provider is not
licensed in such State to provide such services, if--
(1) such services are offered and provided solely on a
volunteer basis; and
(2) such provider is licensed, registered, or certified to
practice in any other State, and such services are within the
scope of practice of such provider (as defined by the State
