We believe the Lifeline program provides an invaluable service to low-income constituents in our districts and across the country. We are pleased the Board has decided to look for ways to minimize fraud, "waste and abuse in the program so that deserving and qualified families will still have access to this important program. As our nation struggles to overcome unemployment and other economic challenges, the Lifeline program is more invaluable than ever. Reports both academic and anecdotal have shown that access to phone service leads to greater chances ofemployment. Residents in our districts and nationwide, should be able to access these services in the case ofan emergency. We wholeheartedly agree with the Board's recommendations that the Commission put together a plan for uniformity on areas that would apply to all Eligible Telecommunications Carriers (ETCs) that would help eliminate waste and abuse in this program.

Please contact the principals above to learn more about the services of the firm. Weekly Legislative Report # 8 Week Ending March 6, 2020 No Silver Bullet -- Tort Reform Battle Complex issues such as tort reform can seldom be resolved with a single bullet. At the behest of business interests and insurance companies, numerous legislative shots are being fired in an effort to curb huge jury awards in civil cases. Ironically, plaintiffs’ attorneys have recently found themselves having to play defense during legislative debates. The Senate Insurance and Labor Cmte has approved SB 415 by Sen. Steve Gooch (R-Dahlonega) that addresses liability, trucking lawsuits, seat belt use admissibility in civil cases, asbestos litigation and truth in medical damages. Gooch also sponsored SB 390, a similar bill, but it’s stuck in the decidedly unfriendly Judiciary Cmte. The full Senate has passed SB 374 by John Kennedy (R-Macon) that deals with reasonable parameters for settlement demand letters. Rep. Tom McCall (R-Elberton) dropped HB 1089 in the hopper last week. Along with allowing defense attorneys to introduce evidence that a plaintiff who was not wearing a seat belt contributed to the severity of their own injuries, this bill would require separate trials to determine guilt and assess damages in cases seeking more than $150,000. Speaker David Ralston (R-Blueridge) has created the Special Committee on Access to the Civil Justice System chaired by Rep.
