Tort Reform Acts

Ohio Governor Taft signed two major tort reform bills into law yesterday, saying in his press release that they were "the first pieces of legislation I'm signing in 2005, and I cannot think of a better way to start the New Year for the workers and employers of Ohio."

Senate Bill 80, is a "comprehensive lawsuit reform bill... that creates a system ofcivil justice in Ohio that protects injured parties while bringing fairness & a sense of clarity to the business community," and House Bill 498, a "workers' compensation intentional tort bill,"
