Protecting Small Businesses From COVID Liability
01/28/2021
By State Representative Spencer Roach
Our businesses have done everything they can to stay open, to stay safe and to serve us during the COVID-19 pandemic. We can champion their comeback by protecting those who did the right thing from frivolous lawsuits with HB 7 – the most aggressive liability protection bill in the nation. HB 7 provides COVID-19 lawsuit protections to businesses, schools, nonprofits and religious institutions making good-faith efforts to follow established federal, state and local guidelines.
HB 7 passed its first committee on Wednesday, January 13, and is now headed to the Pandemics & Public Emergencies Committee. I am proud to cosponsor this bill.
