House turns to medical malpractice reform
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Members of the House introduced their legislative package dealing with medical malpractice reforms this morning, just as the full Senate opened debate on the same topic.
Other bills read for the first time in the House call for sheriffs’ elections to be non-partisan, for locally owned businesses to be given an edge in competitive bids for government contracts, for seat belt requirements to be extended to pickup trucks and for tighter restrictions to be placed on the sale of drugs including pseudoephedrine.
Another resolution calls for a constitutional amendment on removing the ban on pari-mutuel betting and allowing the proceeds to go to the HOPE scholarship program, as well as various equine programs.
