AN ACT CONCERNING THE REDUCTION OF ECONOMIC DAMAGES IN A PERSONAL INJURY OR WRONGFUL DEATH ACTION FOR COLLATERAL SOURCE PAYMENTS MADE ON BEHALF OF A CLAIMANT.

SB 1329 modifies how courts handle economic damages in personal injury or wrongful death cases. It requires courts to reduce awarded economic damages (like medical bills and lost wages) by the total amount paid by collateral sources (such as health insurance) minus amounts related to subrogation rights held by those sources. This applies when liability is admitted or determined, and the reduction excludes payments where insurers have a right to recover (subrogation) or where claimants waived that right. The bill directly affects claimants receiving medical payments and insurers seeking reimbursement, taking effect October 1, 2025.
