Bill overview
The Coronavirus Provider Protection Act aims to shield healthcare professionals and related entities, like hospitals and clinics, from liability for certain actions taken during the COVID-19 public health emergency. It provides a legal exemption for services provided in good faith or withheld due to pandemic-related factors, such as guidance from government officials or resource limitations. However, this protection does not apply to instances of willful misconduct, gross negligence, or actions taken under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The bill also preempts state laws that conflict with its provisions, supplementing protections offered by the Volunteer Protection Act.
