• Exempts immunity if claimant proves by clear and convincing evidence that the covered entity acted with wanton, reckless, willful, or intentional misconduct; limits damages to economic compensatory damages only when injuries are non-serious.

• Grants health care providers immunity for acts or omissions during health care services negatively affected by the Coronavirus pandemic or state response, absent wanton, reckless, willful, or intentional misconduct.

• Terminates December 31, 2021, or one year after the declared health emergency expires (whichever is later), except liability protections apply perpetually to acts occurring during the law's operation.
