He noted their collaboration with Governor Kemp and Senate colleagues to develop meaningful tort reform.
“The members of the Subcommittee of Rules on Lawsuit Reform have worked diligently with Governor Kemp and our colleagues in the Senate to champion meaningful, substantive tort reform that returns balance and stability to our courtrooms and insurance markets,” stated Speaker Burns. “Each provision included in Senate Bill 68 has been meticulously crafted to ensure fairness for Georgia’s businesses and citizens alike, and we’re looking forward to its passage out of the House later this week.”
