OKLAHOMA CITY--Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry and state lawmakers failed to reach an agreement on tort reform legislation before the Oklahoma Legislature adjourned last week.
The Legislature had approved a broad tort reform bill in April, but Gov. Henry vetoed it (BI, May 7).
Although the Democratic governor and lawmakers reached agreement on many changes to the measure, they failed to resolve all issues--notably those concerning caps on damages--before the legislative session ended.
The Legislature is scheduled to reconvene early next year.
