Recently, Lieutenant Governor of Texas, Dan Patrick, explained how SB 30 is designed to protect consumers from lawsuit abuse that can bankrupt small businesses and leave families devastated. The jury awards leveraged from frivolous lawsuits against Texans can have major financial consequences, especially for small businesses. 

 Lt. Gov. Patrick recently stated: 

“[Excessive litigation has] major financial consequences and can leave individuals and businesses in ruins. I thank Sen. Schwertner for his leadership on this critical issue.”

SB 30 will increase transparency and accountability within the legal system and protect Texas consumers from lawsuit abuse. Following passage in the Texas Senate, it is critical that the Texas House of Representatives moves forward with this legislation.
