HB 1005 Wyoming House · 2020 Special Session

Coronavirus immunity provisions-2.

HB 1005 grants legal immunity to businesses and property owners from civil lawsuits claiming injuries or damages from coronavirus exposure on their premises. It applies to SARS-CoV-2 (the virus causing COVID-19) and any coronavirus that triggers a pandemic, covering entities like corporations, nonprofits, and their employees acting within job duties. The immunity does not apply if harm resulted from intentional exposure to coronavirus. This law became effective immediately upon enactment, preventing lawsuits related to coronavirus exposure incidents occurring after its effective date.
