HB2571 restricts the admissibility of billed medical expenses in personal injury cases against local governments.

HB2571 modifies the admissibility of evidence in civil actions against local governments for personal injuries. It specifies that the amount billed for medical, hospital, or similar expenses cannot be used to establish the plaintiff's damages. Instead, only the amount actually paid for such expenses can be used. This applies to any civil action, arbitration, or mediation proceeding related to such claims. The bill defines "local government" to include cities, towns, counties, and special districts.
