Fiscal Note

SB0129 - Medical Malpractice - Monetary Cap

State Impact:
No fiscal impact.
Individual and Business Impact:
Passage of this bill would increase the medical malpractice cap from $250,000 to $500,000 beginning in FY 2002. Those individuals who receive maximum awards would see up to a $250,000 increase. The additional cost to health care providers would likely be passed on to individuals' insurance premiums or their costs for services.
