GOP-backed COVID-19 relief bills getting fast-tracked through new session of Legislature
A proposed package of GOP backed COVID-19 bills got its first hearing at the state Capitol on Tuesday.
There’s a number of business friendly measures in the package, including restricting local health departments from closing businesses for long periods of time, and broad lawsuit immunity for businesses. Those immunity measures that got most of the attention on Tuesday.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos says that he wants to have businesses continue their COVID-19 prevention efforts, but also be free from lawsuits if someone catches the virus.
“But the idea is to try and find a balance, with the assumption that businesses are going to do the right thing.”
