The Legislature finds and declares the following:

(1) Providing reasonable protections from the risk and expense of lawsuits to businesses will help encourage businesses to remain open and reopen and that providing such a safe harbor to businesses that operate reasonably consistent with applicable public health guidance will help ameliorate the social harms of a closed economy and the resulting unemployment.

(2) The Coronavirus has put, and will continue to put, a significant strain on health care facilities, health care providers, and health care resources of this state; the Coronavirus has undermined, and will continue to undermine, the ability to deliver patient care in the traditional, normal, or customary manner; and our health care facilities, health care professionals, and their supporting workers need protection to respond to this pandemic and to do what they can do to continue to provide treatment and services for the people of Alabama.

(Act 2021-4, §1.)
