SB 6520: Civil liability reform

Providing for omnibus civil liability reform.

Summary

  • Finds that counties, cities, other governmental entities, professionals, health care providers, businesses, individuals, and nonprofit organizations are finding it increasingly difficult to find affordable liability insurance. One of the drivers increasing the cost of liability insurance is the potential liability beyond one's proportionate share of fault that a defendant must be insured against.
