SUGGESTED EMAIL:

Dear Gov. DeSantis,

I am writing to ask that you support SB7014 related to COVID-19 Liability Protections.   This legislation extends the commonsense COVID-19 liability protections expiring for health care facilities to continue to protect our healthcare heroes as the pandemic continues. 

I ask that you support SB7014 and sign this legislation into law. 

Sincerely,
