The Lone Star Economic Alliance (LSEA) issued a statement after the Texas Senate passed Senate Bill (SB) 30. The bill is considered a significant victory for fairness and accountability in the state's judicial system. This legislation is one of Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick's top priorities for the 2025 Legislative Session.

According to the LSEA, "SB 30 seeks to prevent abusive lawsuit practices by many plaintiff lawyers that wrongfully inflate medical damages in personal injury lawsuits. The bill also will bring uniformity to Texas courtrooms by defining the noneconomic damages of pain and suffering and mental anguish, assuring that harmed persons are fully compensated on a fair and reasonable basis."

The bill aims to protect genuine victims and create a more transparent legal process. "Thanks to the leadership of Lt. Governor Patrick and Senator Charles Schwertner, the Texas Senate today took a bold stand to ensure that our legal system works as it was intended: to protect genuine victims, not enrich bad actors. With SB 30, all Texans will benefit from a fairer, more transparent legal process that restores integrity and trust in our courts."

The LSEA expressed its gratitude to the Senate for passing the legislation, stating, "We applaud the full Senate for passing this critical legislation. This is a meaningful step toward real reform—and a win for every Texan."

The LSEA advocates for policies that support job creation and maintain essential services for Texas families. The alliance includes nearly 150 business associations and 1,000 Texas job creators and individuals. Their mission is to reduce the cost of doing business by addressing unfair litigation practices that affect jobs and businesses in the state.
