Civil actions; increase the noneconomic damages limitation other than medical malpractice.

This bill would increase the cap on noneconomic damages (such as pain, suffering, and emotional distress) in civil lawsuits, excluding medical malpractice cases. Currently limited to $2 million for non-medical civil cases, the bill proposes raising this cap to account for inflation (citing a 67.02% cumulative price increase since 2004), though the exact new amount isn't specified in the text. It would apply to cases filed after July 1, 2025, and does not affect the separate $500,000 cap for medical malpractice. The bill died in committee in February 2025 and did not become law.
