S 2461 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes immunity relating to COVID-19 spread at swimming pools in planned real estate developments.

This bill (S 2461) protects property owners and managers of swimming pools in planned real estate developments from lawsuits related to COVID-19 exposure or transmission at those pools. It applies to pools, hot tubs, spas, and adjacent areas like restrooms and playgrounds within the development's common spaces. The immunity covers most claims but does not apply if the property owner acted with gross negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct, fraud, or criminal behavior. It directly affects developers, homeowners' associations, and residents of planned communities with shared pool facilities.
