A GROUP of Republican lawmakers has introduced legislation to repeal a controversial part of the landmark 2005 tort law that deals with ER doctors.
The proposal, Senate Bill 286, would repeal the section of the law that requires medical-malpractice plaintiffs to prove that emergency room doctors acted with gross negligence. The bill would leave intact other major portions of the tort law, such as a $350,000 cap on pain and suffering damages in medical malpractice cases.
