Bill: Tort Reform Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Libertarian Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: July 3138
Description[?]:
| Issues of lawsuits for malpractice or related issues must balance the needs of holding practitioners accountable and reducing frivolous lawsuits. Studies indicate that the excessive settlements that have proliferated in the nation do not have much positive effect in reducing negligence. They do, however, significantly raise the price of malpractice insurance and related insurances. A moderate cap on tort reform is recommended to reduce the frivolous lawsuits and balance the needs of our systems of healthcare and industry. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
