House approves changes to laws on lawsuits
February 2, 2012 Thursday | Star Tribune (Minneapolis, MN)
Republicans in the Minnesota House pushed through a package of bills Wednesday to limit the costs of lawsuits, which they view as a necessity to make the state competitive but which opponents see as a barrier to justice. After a sometimes-emotional 6 1/2-hour debate, Republicans used their 10-vote House majority to pass tort reform bills favored by a coalition of business groups and opposed by the state's trial attorneys. The measures, which passed largely on party-line votes, include:
