Dear Subscriber,
Is your facility in a state with proposed or enacted COVID-19 legislation?
The COVID-19 pandemic has spurred many state legislatures to propose legislation that grants immunity to businesses from civil tort (wrongful act) claims from individuals claiming they either contracted or were exposed to COVID-19.
BLR offers this guidance document which provides a state-by-state listing of enacted and proposed legislation. The document was most recently updated on March 30, 2021 for CA, FL, ID, IL, MI, MN, NY, TX, WV and WI.
