AI Summary

This bill relates to suspending rent payments for certain tenants who have lost income or were forced to close their businesses due to the COVID-19 pandemic state of emergency declared by Executive Order No. 202. It requires landlords to accept 20% or one-third of the contractual rent each month from these "covered tenants" (which include certain small businesses and non-profits), and the remaining rent is waived. The bill also establishes a commercial rent relief program to support these covered tenants and landlords, and prohibits courts from accepting petitions to evict these tenants for non-payment of rent for 30 days after the state of emergency ends.
