CIVIL PROCEDURE: Provides for limitation upon jury trials. (1/1/25)
SB 130 is a procedural bill that amends the existing text of the Civil Procedure Code regarding limitations on jury trials. The legislation specifically removes certain phrases and lines from the statute without adding new substantive rules or changing the core legal framework. Because it only involves deleting existing language rather than creating new obligations or rights, it does not directly affect any specific individuals or groups. The bill's primary purpose is to refine the statutory language currently governing civil trial procedures.
