State lawmakers on Tuesday took the first step toward ending the public health emergency caused by COVID-19 last year, but Gov. Phil Murphy would still retain vast powers over face mask rules and gathering limits while protecting financially struggling renters and homeowners.
Although a bill introduced in the Assembly would nullify dozens of Murphy s executive orders in the pandemic, it would keep in place legal immunity for hospitals and long-term care facilities, keeping families locked out of the legal system in most cases of medical malpractice.
The bill also leaves a separate state of emergency and 15 of the governor s other orders in effect, including the ability to tighten restrictions should hospitalizations increase or the rate of transmission climb above 1. That rate was at 0.53 on Tuesday.
