The Oklahoman (11/2) editorialized, "Effective Tuesday, the state entered the modern age of tort reform with legislation its supporters hope will better position Oklahoma to recruit physicians and encourage business relocation. Time will tell if either goal is realized."
The Oklahoman said that predictably, trial lawyers responded "with growling threats to challenge the constitutionality of tort reform bills. Such challenges are what led Texas to enact tort reform through constitutional amendments rather than statutes." The same thing "may need to happen" in Oklahoma "if the trial bar releases the hounds."
