Coffee Comments on Tuesday’s Oklahoma Supreme Court Ruling on Tort Reform Package

Senator Glenn Coffee Senator Glenn Coffee

Statement by Co-President Pro Tempore Designate Glenn Coffee

“While I am still reviewing Tuesday’s ruling, my initial reaction is that of disappointment, because I believe it will lead to an increase in frivolous lawsuits, higher insurance costs, and less access to healthcare for our citizens. Those are the very things were attempting to stop with this legislation. This makes it imperative for us to revisit the issue of lawsuit reform during the 2007 legislative session.”
