Revise civil liability laws to provide a statutory duty of care for certain actions

The bill was renumbered from LC 0210 to HB 342 and its title was revised to clarify that a specific risk does not automatically change or heighten a doctor's duty of care beyond the reasonable standard. This change aims to prevent courts from assuming that the existence of a known risk automatically creates a new legal duty, instead requiring plaintiffs to prove the provider failed to meet the standard of care regardless of the risk's presence. The effective date and applicability dates were also updated to clarify when the new rules take effect and which cases they cover.
