Bill on tort reform ready for House consideration
A tort reform bill sponsored by Speaker of the House Bobby Harrell is one step closer to being passed out of the lower chamber and making progress from groundwork that was lain in 2009. Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee passed the bill out of committee favorably with amendment.
H. 3489, the “South Carolina Fairness in Civil Justice Act of 2009,” is slated to come up Thursday during the second reading of uncontested bills. However, it’s unlikely it will remain uncontested for long and will be reclassified when the time comes up.
