Ind. Law - More on Indiana punitive damages law

The ILB was looking through the new Indiana laws this morning for the "fax law". Didn't find it, but found that the Indiana punitive damages law referenced in this ILB yesterday has been amended, effective July 1, 2006.

The changes appear in SEA 296. I'm not at all sure what they mean. For instance, what would the changes have meant if they had been in effect Friday when the $2 million Valpo verdict was announced? Apparently the attorney general is to be involved in "negotiating and compromising" punitive damages awards in local courts.
