Court validates city business protection resolution
Resolution initially passed in January will protect businesses from sanctions related to COVID regulations
A city resolution intended to protect businesses from COVID-related sanctions was recently given circuit court validation.
The Prineville City Council passed a Resolution 1474 in January intended to give additional legal protection to businesses as they try to follow COVID guidelines. The resolution finds that business owners and persons complying with the Temporary Oregon OSHA COVID-19 (rules) are taking reasonable precautions to minimize the spread and exposure of the coronavirus and should not face legal sanctions, even if those actions are inconsistent with executive orders related to COVID-19, the council explained in a statement.
