Oklahoma Tort Reform Recognized by National Association

Oklahoma has been named a “Tort Reform Trailblazer” by the American Tort Reform Association in its annual Legislative HeatCheck report. National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) State Director Jerrod Shouse credited the Legislature for enacting Senate Bill 453, a measure that sets caps on non-economic damages and tightens rules on expert witness testimony. “When we have a fair judicial system, that benefits every Oklahoman,” Shouse said.
