uniforms, or other matters that the board, board of directors, or

 

governing body considers appropriate. A volunteer shall not spend

 

more than 9 hours of any week engaged in volunteer activities

volunteer under this section is not liable in damages in a civil

 

action for injury, death, or loss to person or property allegedly

 

arising from the qualified volunteer's performance of services

 

under this section unless the injury, death, or loss resulted from

 

the qualified volunteer's reckless or wanton conduct.
