Gov. Bill Lee yesterday signed into law a bill that provides protections for businesses, schools and nursing homes against “frivolous” COVID-19 lawsuits, the Associated Press reports. The law was enacted today, but is retroactive, covering claims arising from COVID-19 on or before Aug. 3. The act will be repealed on July 1, 2022, but will continue to apply to any loss, illness, injury or death occurring before that date.
