Court rules for civil lawsuits in Utah would change under this resolution, which revises Rule 42 of the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure governing how multiple lawsuits are combined or separated and how cases move between courts. In medical malpractice lawsuits, the bill would prevent juries from hearing evidence about a patient's past medical expenses or equipment costs until after the defendant's liability has been established and any pain-and-suffering damages have been fully decided. The bill would also expand who can request that a case be transferred to a special panel of judges (a "district court panel") — currently limited to the Attorney General, Governor, or Legislature — to allow any party in a lawsuit to make this request within 45 days of the case being filed, while adding a new process letting the panel send a case back to the original judge if the required filing fee isn't paid or the request doesn't meet legal requirements. Because this resolution amends court procedural rules rather than ordinary statutes, it requires approval by two-thirds of lawmakers in both the House and Senate, and it includes a coordination clause with a related measure, S.J.R. 5, ensuring that only one of the two resolutions' overlapping provisions takes effect if both pass into law.
