Overview
This bill would allow businesses in New Jersey to seek compensation from the state if they suffered financial losses due to being ordered to close during a public health emergency. Specifically, it establishes that a business closure order is a public purpose, enabling the state to pay ‘just compensation’ for lost income or the potential loss of the business itself. The bill places the responsibility of proving the losses and their connection to the emergency on the business owner, and sets a one-year deadline for filing a claim.
