Introduced
by
To allow product liability lawsuits against drug companies for drugs that have been approved by the U.S. Food And Drug Administration (FDA). The bill would repeal a “tort reform” law passed in 1995, under which such lawsuits are prohibited in Michigan courts unless the company intentionally withheld information or misled the FDA about the drug, or used bribery to gain approval.
Referred to the Committee on Commerce
Motion
by
To discharge the Committee on Commerce from further consideration of the bill. This bypasses the committee process and moves the bill directly to the House Floor, where it could be voted on at any time. However, this does not require the House leadership to call for a vote.
The motion passed 89 to 17 (details)
