Bill overview
This bill, the Protecting Protein Production and Consumer Access Act of 2020, provides liability protection to meat processing facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic. It shields these facilities from lawsuits related to harm caused by the virus, except in cases of intentional misconduct, gross negligence, or reckless behavior. The goal is to ensure a stable meat supply chain by reducing legal risks for processors during the public health emergency. State laws that conflict with this bill’s protections will be preempted.
