Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has issued a statement regarding the recent passage of Senate Bill 30, known as "Curbing Nuclear Verdicts." The bill, authored by Sen. Charles Schwertner, R-Georgetown, aims to address the financial impact of large legal verdicts in Texas.

"Nuclear verdicts have major financial consequences and can leave individuals and businesses in ruins," said Lt. Gov. Patrick. He emphasized that these substantial verdicts increase insurance costs for Texans and create challenges for businesses operating in the state. Lt. Gov. Patrick expressed gratitude towards Sen. Schwertner for his leadership on this matter.

Senate Bill 30 is designed to protect Texas citizens and businesses from what are described as dangerous "nuclear verdicts."
