Legislation introduced to limit liability due to Covid-19
Lawmakers heard
testimony Friday on
a bill that would limit

to COVID-19. Republican
Sen. Steve Fitzpatrick of
Great Falls presented the
bill to the Senate Business,

the failure to use “slight”
care.
What that means
in practice is that if a
business or organization
largely follows state,
county and federal public
health guidelines, they are
protected from lawsuits
if someone suspects they
contract COVID-19 on
the premises. The bill
does allow lawsuits in the
guidelines.
Representatives of

bill, saying that liability
