Oklahoma Supreme Court Finds Tort Reform Law Unconstitutional
The Oklahoman reports that the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that the state’s Comprehensive Lawsuit Reform Act of 2009 was unconstitutional under the state constitution. The court found that the statute violated the single-subject rule of the OK state constitution, which requires that each bill only deal with a single subject. Forbes also has a report.
The Times Union reports that the Oklahoma legislature is trying to figure out how to re-enact the provisions of the 2009 act in a manner that comports with the court’s ruling.
