The House just concluded 40 minutes of debate and votes on several amendments to put Senate Bill 1131 (sponsor withdrawn), providing for tort reform, in position for a final vote by the House, probably tomorrow.
There were three amendments offered, each defeated by a vote of 86 or 87 to 108. So far the bill has not been amended and probably will not be. If that's the case, after the House on final passage the bill will go to Gov. Corbett for his action.
The Governor has already indicated he would sign the bill and achieve one of his important legislative objectives for the year.
