Establishes provisions relating to alternative dispute resolution

Summary

The bill repeals the existing ADR statute and creates new sections that define ADR terms, let judges send civil cases to mediation or other nonbinding processes, and give parties the ability to choose a different process, delay it, or seek relief from the referral. It also requires neutrals to avoid and disclose conflicts of interest and sets rules for discovery during ADR. The goal is to make dispute resolution faster while protecting fairness.
