CONCORD – As New Hampshire’s economy begins to reopen, the Business and Industry Association, New Hampshire’s statewide chamber of commerce and leading business advocate, today provided draft language to the Governor, key legislators, and state policy leaders serving on the Governor’s Office for Emergency Relief & Recovery (GOFERR) and the Governor’s Economic Reopening Task Force which is aimed at protecting employers from unwarranted COVID-19 related litigation.

Calling on the governor to enact an emergency “safe harbor” order, and legislators and policy leaders to endorse similar legislation to protect employers, BIA President Jim Roche said, “New Hampshire employers who are already struggling through the effects of this pandemic should not be further harmed by unwarranted COVID-19 related litigation.”
