Lawmakers take steps toward COVID-19 liability protection

HELENA — Lawmakers heard testimony Friday on a bill that would limit the liability of Montana businesses, health care workers and people providing personal protective products due to COVID-19.

Republican Sen. Steve Fitzpatrick of Great Falls presented the bill to the Senate Business, Labor and Economic Affairs Committee.

“Right now we kind of have an anything goes type of situation around the state,” Fitzpatrick said. This changes that.”
