Florida lawmakers have divided the question of COVID-19 liability protections into several different proposals, and the first bills protecting against fraud and the other for businesses, recently rolled out. A third dealing with healthcare is expected soon. At issue is an effort to give business, and providers some comfort with operating in a pandemic, while balancing consumer rights.
House Bill 7 is the first legislative bill to get moving ahead of the March legislative session. It’s a priority for nearly every state leader, as it involves trying to curb frivolous COVID 19 lawsuits against businesses trying to operate in the middle of a pandemic. Rep. Lawrence McClure (R-Plant City) is the bill sponsor.
