Bill overview
This bill, the Pandemic Liability Protection Act, aims to shield certain healthcare and food providers from lawsuits related to COVID-19 exposure or infection during the public health emergency. It provides broad immunity for these providers, but this protection doesn't extend to cases involving intentional harm, criminal activity, gross negligence, or reckless disregard for patient safety. The bill also establishes a federal standard that could override state laws offering greater liability protections for these providers.
