Jacobs, Chris [R-NY-27] | NY | R | J000020 | 1 | Infrastructure Expansion Act of 2020 This bill precludes absolute liability in any action against a property owner or contractor for projects that are federally owned or operated or are receiving federal financial assistance for infrastructure and transportation development for any injury associated with an elevation- or gravity-related risk occurring on those projects. In any such claim, a state shall apply a liability standard that considers the comparative negligence of the injured person, when such negligence is a proximate cause of an injury. | 2023-01-11T13:45:00Z |
