What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill increases the current law limit on noneconomic damages for injuries resulting from medical malpractice by establishing a limit of $3,000,000 on noneconomic damages for each occurrence of medical malpractice.
Under current law, for each occurrence on or after April 6, 2006, the total noneconomic damages recoverable for bodily injury (including any action or proceeding based on contribution or indemnification and any action for a claim by a person other than the injured person for noneconomic damages recoverable for bodily injury) is limited to no more than $750,000 from all health care providers and all employees of health care providers acting within the scope of their employment and providing health care services who are found negligent and from the injured patients and families compensation fund. The bill changes that limit to $3,000,000 for cases involving acts or omissions occurring after the bill goes into effect.
