The Metro Atlanta Chamber has expressed support for Governor Brian Kemp's commitment to tort reform in the upcoming 2025 legislative session. This initiative is considered a top priority by the chamber, which highlights its significance in addressing challenges faced by businesses and healthcare providers.
Governor Kemp's proposed legislative package aims to balance legal proceedings and align Georgia with neighboring states. The chamber believes this effort will enhance the business climate in Georgia and protect jobs provided by businesses across the state.
Recent polls indicate that Georgians favor reasonable tort reform to safeguard both the business environment and access to the court system. The chamber emphasizes that while everyone should have access to legal recourse, it is also crucial to protect responsible businesses from excessive litigation.
Katie Kirkpatrick, President & CEO of the Metro Atlanta Chamber, stated: "MAC looks forward to working closely with the Governor’s office, legislators, business leaders, and our partners who have championed this issue for years to advance this legislation."
