Statute of limitations for medical malpractice decreased, collection of judgment against personal income or assets limited, and damages for medical malpractice claims limited.

Summary

HF 4274 would require patients to file malpractice suits within two years of the injury, limit noneconomic damages to $500,000, and allow recovery of only actual medical costs. It also bars plaintiffs from seizing a provider’s personal income or assets unless the provider acted willfully maliciously or lacked at least $1 million in liability insurance. The changes take effect on August 1, 2025 for any suit filed after that date.
