The bill amends the Code of Civil Procedure regarding motions for judgment on offers of judgment, specifically focusing on the terms and conditions under which such offers can be made and accepted. It introduces a requirement that an offer of judgment can only be made after an opportunity for adequate discovery and specifies that it must be served at least twenty days before the trial date. The offer must be in writing, clearly stating the total settlement amount and whether it includes costs, interest, and attorney fees. The confidentiality of the offer is maintained unless it is accepted within ten days, allowing either party to move for judgment based on the offer.

Additionally, the bill outlines the consequences for the offeree if the final judgment is significantly less or greater than the offer made. Specifically, if the plaintiff's final judgment is at least twenty-five percent less than the defendant's offer, or if the defendant's final judgment is at least twenty-five percent greater than the plaintiff's offer, or if the judgment favors the defendant, the offeree is required to pay the offeror's costs incurred after the offer was made, excluding attorney fees. This amendment aims to encourage settlement and clarify the financial implications of rejecting an offer of judgment.
