House Bill 2380, also known as Senate Bill 2412, amends various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated related to civil actions. The bill mandates that by January 1, 2027, the administrative office of the courts must submit a report assessing whether the current limit on compensation for noneconomic damages and catastrophic loss or injury should be increased. The report is required to include recommendations and must be directed to the chairs of the judiciary committees in both the Senate and the House of Representatives that oversee civil-related matters.
The act will take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of addressing potential changes to compensation limits in civil cases for the welfare of the public.
