Relating to: determination of where a defendant resides or does substantial business for purposes of venue.

Summary

The bill would stop courts from using the participation of parties or insurers joined under specific statutes when deciding if a county is a proper venue. It also sets that a corporation or LLC is considered to reside where it is incorporated and to do substantial business only in the county of its principal place of business. The changes aim to simplify venue rules and prevent forum‑shopping.
