Senate Bill 129: Enhancing Ohio's Tort Reform
In an effort to continue improving Ohio’s medical liability climate and expand upon the positive impact of tort reform in our state, the OSMA has teamed up with the Ohio Chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians (Ohio ACEP) to initiate and support legislation, Senate Bill 129 – Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) Liability Protections legislation. SB 129 was introduced by Sen. Kevin Bacon (R-Columbus) and Cliff Hite (R-Findlay) and will extend the limited liability protection provided to physicians under Ohio’s Good Samaritan law to physicians providing emergency care and in disaster situations.
