On March 29, 2021, Governor DeSantis signed into law CS/SB 72, a sweeping and powerful new COVID-19-related claim immunity shield. The Act, “Civil Liability for Damages Relating to COVID-19,” provides several powerful protections in a new statute (section 768.38, Florida Statutes) for businesses, educational institutions, governmental entities, and religious institutions, and separately (section 768.381, Florida Statutes) for health care providers. The new law became effective upon the Governor’s signature. Although COVID-19-related claims have been few – less than a dozen known as of the enactment – the new law aims to dissuade those potential claimants who may be waiting in the wings.
