Overview
This bill would allow businesses that were forced to close due to public health emergencies to seek compensation from the state. Specifically, it establishes that a public health emergency closure is a public purpose, enabling the state to use condemnation and pay ‘just compensation’ to affected business owners. This compensation could cover lost income during and after the closure, or the loss of the business itself if it resulted from the emergency order.
