To repeal a law enacted in October of 2021 establishing that a business, facility owner and others are not liable in a lawsuit for a claim that arises from exposure of an individual to COVID-19 on the premises, unless this was caused by a reckless disregard of a substantial and unnecessary risk. Those provisions would not apply after June 2022, and the effective date of the law's repeal would be a year later. This is part of a Republican legislative package amending a number of laws to reflect lessons learned from the COVID epidemic.
