Bill Summary
This bill would establish immunity for senior planned real estate development associations, and any members, employees, and agents thereof, for any civil damages caused by an exposure to COVID-19 alleged to have been sustained as a result of an act or omission in the course of managing or maintaining the common elements and facilities of the age-restricted planned real estate development. The immunity established by the bill would be retroactive to March 9, 2020, when Executive Order No. 103 was issued, declaring a public health emergency and state of emergency in response to COVID-19. This immunity would not apply to acts or omissions constituting a crime, actual fraud, actual malice, gross negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct. This immunity would apply in addition to any other available immunity.
AI Summary
This bill establishes immunity for associations managing age-restricted planned real estate developments, and their members, employees, and agents, from civil lawsuits for damages related to COVID-19 exposure that allegedly occurred due to their actions or inactions while managing common areas and facilities. An "age-restricted planned real estate development" is defined as a community that meets federal criteria for housing older persons. This immunity is retroactive to March 9, 2020, the date a public health emergency was declared in response to COVID-19, but it does not protect against criminal acts, actual fraud, actual malice, gross negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct, and it applies in addition to any other existing legal protections.
