Modifies the applicable cap on damages for sovereign immunity claims

Summary

The bill caps liability for the state and its political subdivisions at $2 million total per incident and $300 thousand per person, and it eliminates punitive damages. It lets those entities purchase liability insurance up to those limits and updates the caps each year based on an inflation index. The cap that applies to a claim is the one in effect on the date of the accident.
