Digest
HB 4036 adjusts liability limits in health care liability claims by tying them to changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The bill mandates that the liability caps for medical malpractice claims be increased or decreased based on the CPI, ensuring that the limits reflect economic inflation or deflation. These adjustments apply only to claims accruing on or after the effective date of the bill.
