This week, the House refused to concur with Senate changes to HB 19, the general tort reform bill which contains NRA-supported lawsuit preemption language. The bill has been sent to a conference committee to work out the differences between House and Senate versions of the measure. Members of the conference committee have not yet been appointed. Please contact your State Representatives and Senators at home next week and urge them to pass meaningful tort reform during this special session that includes protections for the American firearms industry against reckless municipal lawsuits.
