Bill overview
The COVID Justice and Accountability Act establishes a legal pathway for individuals to sue those who violate federal laws related to the COVID-19 pandemic. It also temporarily suspends arbitration agreements and joint-action waivers during the COVID-19 public health emergency and for 180 days afterward, allowing people to pursue legal action in court for harm caused by such violations. This aims to ensure accountability for actions taken during the crisis and protect individuals' rights.
