S 110 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes immunity for businesses against damage claims for COVID-19 exposure; excludes reckless or intentional conduct.

S 110 creates legal immunity for New Jersey businesses against lawsuits claiming injury from COVID-19 exposure on their premises or during their operations. This protection applies to all businesses covered under the bill’s definition of "employer" (including corporations, partnerships, and groups managing activities), but excludes cases involving reckless or intentional harm. The law adds this immunity to existing state and federal protections, meaning businesses cannot be sued for accidental exposure-related claims unless they acted recklessly or intentionally.
