Consideration Of Bill That Could End COVID-19 Immunity For Employers

House Bill 6173 has been recently introduced to the public. If this bill gets passed, it will end the immunity that was granted in 2020 legislation that stated:

“An employer is not liable… for an employee’s exposure to COVID-19 if the employer was operating in compliance with federal, state, and local statutes, rules and regulations, executive orders, and agency orders related to COVID-19 that had not been denied legal effect at the time of the exposure.”

Michigan lawmakers will be considering this bill that will ultimately, expire the legal immunity given to employers who follow workplace safety regulations and whose employees contract COVID-19.
