Senate OKs Iowa products liability bill in Senate vote
Cedar Rapids lawmakers hail a compromise measure aimed at curbing liability lawsuits and lowering insurance costs for manufacturers while preserving consumer rights to sue for injuries. The bill adds an eight year limit on certain suits and creates strict liability and warranty provisions, with exemptions for owner-made changes and identified original sellers. Republican Kudart supported the bill despite consumer concerns, while Democrat Robinson urged balance amid high premiums. Opposing votes came from Democrats Norman Rodgers George Kinley and Bill Palmer.
