S.B. 68 Passes in GA Senate

Governor Kemp took the extraordinary step of threatening to primary any Republican voting against S.B. 68, and he got his way in a near-party-line vote.  The bill passed 33-21, with one Republican against and one Democrat in favor.  It appears there was a compromise on the collateral source rule issue that allows plaintiffs to show jurors both the initial medical bill and the actual amount paid for the medical bill.  The proposal now goes to the Georgia House of Representatives.
