In a prior post, we reported on the death of a bill to cap punitive damages in California at three times the amount of compensatory damages. That report turned out to be premature, because the proposal wasn’t really dead. It came back to life with a different number (AB 2740). Now that bill is really dead. It was rejected by the Assembly Judiciary Committee. Don’t take our word for it; the Civil Justice Association of California (CJAC), which sponsored the bill, has the full report on its blog.
