A 3341 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes immunity for businesses against damage claims for public health emergency exposure; excludes reckless or intentional conduct.

This bill creates legal immunity for businesses against lawsuits claiming injury or damage from public health emergency exposure at their locations or during their managed activities. It applies to businesses operating under the employer definition (including corporations, partnerships, and groups managing employee relations) and directly affects individuals who might seek compensation for such exposure. The immunity covers claims related to governor-declared public health emergencies but explicitly excludes cases involving reckless conduct, willful misconduct, or intentional harm. This provision aims to protect businesses from certain liability without altering existing immunity protections under state or federal law.
