Summary

The legislation rewrites parts of the Medical Malpractice Act, setting maximum damages for malpractice claims and clarifying who counts as a health‑care provider, hospital or independent facility. It limits non‑punitive awards to $600,000 for most providers and $750,000 for independent providers, with future inflation adjustments, and requires compensation‑fund payments to be made as costs arise. The changes also restrict punitive damages and attorney fees.
