5. Senator Jason Anavitarte of Dallas proposed legislation in the Georgia Senate that would close a loophole in Georgia's apportionment statute. The bill, SB 203, would, among other things related to trucking, prevent a plaintiff from joining a motor carrier and insurance carrier in the same tort or contract action. Opponents of the bill say that the loophole was closed in 2022, and the bill would actually benefit insurance companies. (Law.com)
