Bill Summary
COVID-19 Liab. Safe Harbor
AI Summary
This bill, titled "COVID-19 Liab. Safe Harbor," amends North Carolina law to provide limited immunity from liability for COVID-19-related claims. Specifically, it establishes that no person shall be liable for any act or omission related to COVID-19 unless it amounts to gross negligence, willful or wanton conduct, or intentional wrongdoing. It also requires persons to provide reasonable notice of actions taken to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission on premises under their control, and exempts persons from liability for individuals' failure to comply with such notices. The immunity provided by this bill does not apply to workers' compensation claims.
