NJ S119

Business owners ordered to partially or completely close during a declared public health emergency may sue the State of New Jersey to compel condemnation and receive just compensation for losses

Eligible compensation includes loss of income during and for a reasonable period after the closure, provided the closure resulted from compliance with the emergency order

Business owners who permanently closed may seek compensation for loss of going concern, including real property, if they can prove the closure caused them to go out of business

The business owner bears the burden of proving both that losses resulted from the public health emergency and the amount of compensation owed

Applies retroactively to public health emergencies declared on or after January 1, 2020, with claims required within one year of the emergency order's expiration
