The good faith belief that a federal procedural bar was in place when a cause of action for health care liability arose shall extend the limitation of action of said period until one year after the good faith belief no longer existed.
No public reasoning provided.
This bill gives people a fair chance to file a health care lawsuit. Because of the lack of access to the court system, people honestly thought the federal law was blocking them. This bill simply asks the legislature to 'make law' what the courts have already established in multiple decisions.
No public reasoning provided.
