Humphrey Pushes for Legislation to Extend Health Liability Claims

Rep. Justin Humphrey, R-Lane, on Tuesday spoke at a rally at the State Capitol about his bill that would remove federal liability shields for claims such as COVID vaccine injuries, among others.

House Bill 3119 would extend the period of time for people to file health care liability claims based on a good faith belief that a federal procedural bar was in place when a cause of action arose.

Supporters of the bill say it would restore patients' constitutional rights to remedy and protect their right to bodily autonomy. The bill has not been heard in a House committee.
