2018 House Bill 6225

Repeal FDA approved drug lawsuit ban

Introduced in the House

June 12, 2018

Introduced by Rep. Brian Elder (D-96)

To allow product liability lawsuits against drug companies for drugs that have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The bill would repeal a tort reform law that went into effect in 1996, under which such lawsuits are prohibited in Michigan courts unless the company intentionally withheld information or misled the FDA about the drug, or used bribery to gain approval.

Referred to the Committee on Judiciary
