Bill Signing for HB 1175 to create and enact a new chapter to title 32 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to business immunity from COVID\u201119 liability claims; to provide for retroactive application; and to declare an emergency with Governor Doug Burgum and supporters of the bill.<\/p><\/div>\n
Bismarck (CSi) \u2013 Gov. Doug Burgum Friday signed legislation that creates common-sense liability protections to shield health care providers, businesses and others from frivolous claims related to exposure to COVID-19.<\/p>\n
Those joining Burgum for the signing of House Bill 1175 included the bill\u2019s prime sponsor, Rep. Michael Howe, Senate Majority Leader Rich Wardner, Assistant Senate Majority Leader Jerry Klein, and Arik Spencer, president and CEO of the Greater North Dakota Chamber.<\/p>\n
Burgum noted that North Dakota health care providers and businesses did their best to protect their patients, customers and team members through extremely challenging conditions and ever-changing rules and recommendations during the pandemic.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s important that we provide common-sense protections for those North Dakotans who were doing everything they could,\u201d Burgum said before signing the bill. \u201cLegislation like House Bill 1175 will protect these businesses, organizations, medical providers and educational providers from frivolous lawsuits arising from COVID-19 exposure, while still allowing claims in situations that involved ill intentions or reckless acts.\u201d<\/p>\n
House Bill 1175 protects health care providers, businesses and other facilities from civil liability for any act in response to COVID-19 that causes or contributes to the death or injury of a person. It also protects an individual who designs, manufactures, labels, sells and distributes disinfecting or cleaning supplies that protect from COVID-19, from civil liability for personal injury, death or property damage. The bill does not protect against actions that constitute willful and wanton misconduct, or reckless or intentional infliction of harm.<\/p>\n
The legislation applies retroactively to Jan. 1, 2020, covering the entire COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith a higher and higher percentage of people getting vaccinated, we know that the light at the end of the tunnel grows closer, and this legislation will allow the health care system, businesses and our entire state to move forward with this protection and emerge stronger than ever,\u201d Burgum said.<\/p>\n
The governor thanked Howe, Klein and fellow bill sponsors, Reps. Glenn Bosch, Bill Devlin, Mike Lefor, Corey Mock and Sen. Randy Burckhard, as well as Wardner and House Majority Leader Chet Pollert, and the business and medical communities for their support and work on the legislation. The bill was approved 77-17 in the House and 41-6 in the Senate.<\/p>\n
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A North Dakota legislator has been charged with misdemeanor drunken driving. The Bismarck Tribune reports that House Assistant Majority Leader Scott Louser was charged Friday and will make his initial court appearance on May 12. Court documents show that the 49-year-old Minot Republican’s blood alcohol content when he was pulled over April 16 in Bismarck was 0.117%, more than twice the legal limit of 0.08%. He failed three field sobriety tests and refused another before he was taken to jail. He also mistakenly referred to a legislative intern who was with him as his attorney.<\/p>\n
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Prosecutors have dropped the case against a Williston man convicted of sexual abuse after the state Supreme Court ordered a new trial. The Williston Herald reported Friday that prosecutors in Williams County have dropped charges against 44-year-old Juan Antonio Martinez. Martinez was convicted in February 2019 of sexually assaulting a girl multiple times in 2017. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison. But the state Supreme Court in March ordered a new trial. Martinez\u2019s attorneys argued the courtroom was closed twice during his initial trial, violating Martinez\u2019s rights. Prosecutors wrote in a motion to dismiss the case that the girl wouldn’t be available to testify and her family was concerned about another trial.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
MANDAREE, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A 61-year-old truck driver has died in a crash near Mandaree in McKenzie County of western North Dakota. The North Dakota Highway Patrol says it happened just after 3 p.m. Thursday when a 2019 Kenworth that was hauling water failed to negotiate a curve on Bear Den Road and overturned in the ditch, coming to rest on the passenger side. The highway patrol said the driver was not wearing a seat belt. He died at the scene. His name was not immediately released.<\/p>\n

In world and national news…<\/p>\n
(AP) U.S. authorities are weighing whether to resume the Johnson & Johnson vaccine more than a week after a pause was issued out of an abundance of caution. A government advisory panel is discussing a possible link between J&J\u2019s shot and a handful of vaccine recipients who developed highly unusual blood clots. New guidance is expected later in the day. European regulators earlier this week allowed the rollout of J&J after concluding the benefits of the single-dose vaccine outweigh what appears to be an exceedingly rare risk. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is looking to its advisers to help determine how big any risk really is.<\/p>\n
SAN DIEGO (AP) \u2014 Police say a man in downtown San Diego shot and killed one person and then walked another block and opened fire again, wounding four people before police subdued him with a Taser. Homicide Lt. Andra Brown says a suspect was taken into custody Thursday night in the city\u2019s Gaslamp Quarter dining and nightlife district. Brown says three victims were taken to hospitals and one was treated at the scene, but that none of the wounds were believed to be life-threatening. The violence began outside a hotel where a man was shot to death. The gunman then walked up the street, got into a confrontation with a group of men and opened fire. He was tackled by bystanders before police detained him.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
LAS VEGAS (AP) \u2014 Federal authorities have arrested and extradited an escaped Nevada fugitive who was captured in Mexico after being on the run for 27 years. The U.S. Marshals Service announced on Thursday that 52-year-old Samuel Gallardo was sent back to the U.S. after he was found living in Nayarit, Mexico, in January 2020. Gallardo originally escaped from Nevada Department of Corrections custody in 1994 after serving less than one year of his sentence. Gallardo was convicted of DUI in 1992 after crashing into another vehicle while driving in the wrong direction, killing one person. He was sentenced to 40 years.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
DALLAS (AP) \u2014 The family of a man who Dallas police fatally shot after he pointed what turned out to be a replica handgun toward officers say he was recently discharged from a mental illness treatment center. Officers shot Edgar Luis Tirado on Monday as he brandished the replica firearm, which police said he\u2019d used in a series of robberies. The Dallas police chief said officers thought the gun was real and the department released helicopter and body camera video that appeared to show Tirado pointing it at them. Tirado\u2019s parents said the 28-year-old had bipolar disorder and that they\u2019d been trying to have him committed.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Police responding to a person gripped by a mental health or drug crisis can lead to tragic results. Now a government health program will help communities set up an alternative: mobile teams of behavioral health practitioners and paramedics trained in de-escalating such potentially volatile situations. The effort to reinvent policing after the death of George Floyd in police custody is getting an assist from Medicaid, the federal-state health insurance program for low-income people. President Joe Biden\u2019s recent coronavirus relief bill calls for an estimated $1 billion over 10 years in federal payments to states that set up mobile crisis teams, now locally operated in only a handful of places, including Oregon.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Ghislaine Maxwell has faced a judge in person for the first time as lawyers squabble over exactly when she should be tried on sex trafficking charges alleging that she procured teenage girls for Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse at his posh residences. Maxwell pleaded not guilty Friday to sex trafficking conspiracy and a sex trafficking charge that were added in a rewritten indictment filed last month in Manhattan federal court. Her lawyers maintain they need months of additional preparation because of the new charges, making it impossible to keep a July 12 trial date.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) \u2014 Florida officials say a DNA test led to the arrest of a suspect in the April 1985 slaying, rape and kidnapping of a 78-year-old woman who had dementia and had wandered away from her home. The Palm Beach County Sheriff\u2019s Office announced Friday that it had arrested 61-year-old Richard C. Lange on first-degree murder charges. The office did not release the victim\u2019s name, but 1985 news stories identify her as Mildred Matheny. She was found unconscious, nude and beaten along a remote dirt road about 25 miles from where she had disappeared seven hours earlier. She died 11 days later. Lange has denied involvement.<\/p>\n
