Bill Summary

This bill would extend existing immunity from civil liability to a planned real estate development for damages arising from a COVID-19 exposure or transmission on the premises of a planned real estate development. Under P.L.2021, c.142, this immunity expires on the first day of calendar year 2022, but would be extended by this bill until the last day of calendar year 2022. The immunity provided by P.L.2021, c.142, and extended by this bill, exists so long as the planned real estate development has prominently displayed a warning, as described in P.L.2021, c.142, at the entrance of any communal space. The immunity provided by P.L.2021, c.142, and extended by this bill, would not apply to acts or omissions constituting a crime, actual fraud, actual malice, gross negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct.

AI Summary

This bill extends the existing protection for planned real estate developments, which are communities with shared amenities and services, from being sued for damages related to COVID-19 exposure or transmission on their property. Originally set to expire at the beginning of 2022, this bill pushes that expiration date to December 31, 2022. To qualify for this immunity, these developments must prominently display a warning sign in any shared spaces, as previously established by Public Law 2021, chapter 142. However, this protection does not cover situations involving criminal acts, actual fraud, intentional harm, gross negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct.
