Introduced

To prescribe procedures and conditions that must be met when a party seeks a retrial after a jury verdict on the grounds of mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect; newly discovered evidence; fraud, misrepresentation, or other misconduct of an adverse party; or another reason that the party believes justifies relief from the judgment. The Senate Fiscal Agency reports this "could allow for nearly 1,500 additional post-judgment requests for relief from (circuit court) jury verdicts annually".
