THE POWER OF YOUR VOICES


If your cause is righteous and reasonable, and if you speak up in support of it, good things can happen…


This idea was affirmed recently when our bill to provide limited immunity to common interest communities in New Jersey from COVID19 claims (A4979/S3584) was passed by both chambers of our legislature and sent to the Governor to be signed into law. When it was first introduced in the Assembly back in November 2020 by Atlantic County Assemblymen Vince Mazzeo and John Armato at the urging of your LAC, the conventional wisdom was that the bill stood little chance of passage. Several other competing bills seeking immunity for various segments of our society had already been introduced but had made little or no progress. We were told that while these worthy groups would benefit from such immunity, the legislature generally had “little appetite” for immunity legislation.


Undaunted, we asked our CAI members and constituents to reach out to their local legislators to explain the urgent need for this liability
