States are eligible to receive incentives for enacting effective medical liability alternatives. (
p. 1431)
IN GENERAL.--To the extent and in the amounts made available in advance in appropriations Acts, the Secretary shall make an incentive payment, in an amount determined by the Secretary, to each State that has an alternative medical liability law in compliance with this section.
Of course, there's a
catch.
CONTENTS OF ALTERNATIVE MEDICAL LIABILITY LAW.--The contents of an alternative liability law are in accordance with this paragraph if--
(A) the litigation alternatives contained in the law consist of certificate of merit, early offer, or both; and
(B) the law does not limit attorneys' fees or impose caps on damages.
Can't do anything to harm the trial lawyers.
