La cuerda floja de la reforma de los litigios<\/b><\/h3>\n

Por:Niel Dawson, IEC Atlanta, Georgia, Director Ejecutivo<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Se han formado grietas en el\u00a0Esfuerzo dirigido por Kemp<\/a>\u00a0para proteger a las empresas y las aseguradoras de los grandes pagos de las demandas en medio de una feroz oposici\u00f3n de las v\u00edctimas de delitos, que acudieron en masa esta semana para criticar la reforma de responsabilidad civil y provocaron nuevas dudas entre los legisladores de la C\u00e1mara.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

Tras su paso por el Senado el mes pasado, las medidas de reforma esbozadas en el\u00a0Proyecto de ley 68 del Senado<\/a>, patrocinado por el Senado Pro Tem\u00a0John F. Kennedy<\/a>, republicano de Macon, se top\u00f3 con un muro de cr\u00edticas y escrutinio que ha bloqueado el avance del proyecto de ley hasta el pleno de la C\u00e1mara para su votaci\u00f3n final.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Los l\u00edderes se apresuran a conseguir apoyos tras las reuniones de los grupos parlamentarios y los recuentos de votos que indican que el proyecto de ley podr\u00eda no contar con suficientes votos para aprobarse en la C\u00e1mara sin ciertos cambios, seg\u00fan personas cercanas a esas conversaciones que hablaron con\u00a0Asuntos de Estado<\/em>\u00a0bajo condici\u00f3n de anonimato para hablar de asuntos internos del partido.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Los posibles cambios en el proyecto de ley se centrar\u00edan probablemente en las llamadas protecciones de demandas por negligencia en materia de seguridad, que seg\u00fan los opositores podr\u00edan proteger de responsabilidad a las empresas con malas pr\u00e1cticas y abrir la puerta a ataques de depredadores en lugares como guarder\u00edas, residencias asistidas, gimnasios, complejos de apartamentos y hoteles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

La oficina de Kennedy declin\u00f3 hacer comentarios para este reportaje, remitiendo las preguntas de\u00a0Asuntos de Estado<\/em>\u00a0a la oficina del gobernador.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Kemp, que ha hecho de la reforma de la responsabilidad civil su principal prioridad en esta sesi\u00f3n, no ha dado muestras de dar marcha atr\u00e1s en esas protecciones, que \u00e9l y los partidarios del proyecto de ley han argumentado que proteger\u00eda a las empresas de demandas fr\u00edvolas y ayudar\u00eda a reducir las primas de seguros por las nubes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\"El gobernador quiere que se apruebe esta maldita cosa a toda costa\", dijo el diputado.\u00a0Alan Powell<\/a>R-Hartwell, uno de los miembros m\u00e1s antiguos de la Legislatura, dijo a\u00a0Asuntos de Estado<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

No est\u00e1 claro si el gobernador apoyar\u00eda alg\u00fan cambio en el proyecto de ley de reforma de responsabilidad civil. En una declaraci\u00f3n el viernes, un portavoz de Kemp se\u00f1al\u00f3 que \"esperamos continuar nuestro trabajo con los legisladores para conseguir una reforma significativa de agravios hecho.\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\"Seamos claros: el gobernador ha estado y est\u00e1 comprometido con un paquete de reforma de responsabilidad civil equilibrado y con sentido com\u00fan que no impida a ning\u00fan georgiano que haya sido agraviado obtener la justicia que merece\", dijo en el comunicado Garrison Douglas, secretario de prensa de Kemp. \"Este tema ha sido estudiado ampliamente, adem\u00e1s de las conversaciones robustas con las partes interesadas de todos los lados, y el gobernador seguir\u00e1 estando abierto a conversaciones y recomendaciones constructivas a lo largo del proceso legislativo.\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Si se mantiene sin cambios, el proyecto de ley de reforma tendr\u00eda que ser aprobado s\u00f3lo en la C\u00e1mara para dirigirse a la mesa de Kemp para su firma. Los cambios enviar\u00edan el proyecto de nuevo al Senado para m\u00e1s votos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

El proyecto de ley debe obtener primero la aprobaci\u00f3n del\u00a0Subcomisi\u00f3n del Reglamento de la C\u00e1mara de Representantes sobre la reforma de los procedimientos judiciales<\/a>\u00a0antes de que el pleno de la C\u00e1mara puede votar. El presidente del subcomit\u00e9, el representante Rob Leverett, R-Elberton, a\u00fan no ha indicado cu\u00e1ndo puede programar una votaci\u00f3n sobre el proyecto de ley.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
