12/10/2020 - 1pm-2:00pm

With the issuance of Executive Order Numbers 56 and 70, restaurants in Southern Illinois face new restrictions that could significantly impact how they operate. Additionally, lawsuits already have been filed related to these orders and similar executive orders, leading to confusion over the current state of the law on this issue.

Restaurants and other businesses also face the prospect of an increase in lawsuits related to exposure to and contraction of COVID-19. To help restaurants through this extremely challenging time, this presentation will focus on Executive Order Numbers 56 and 70, including the legal arguments being made for and against the orders, the potential impact of recent court rulings related to the orders, and the current status of legal challenges to the orders.

The presentation also will address issues restaurants should consider when determining whether to allow in-person dining.
