Plain-language change summary

The amendment to Assembly Bill No. 76 increases the allowable fees for expert witnesses in civil cases from $1,500 to $15,000 per witness. This change is significant because it makes it easier for prevailing parties in court to cover the costs associated with expert testimony, potentially leading to more thorough and well-supported cases. It encourages the use of expert witnesses, which can help ensure that justice is better served in complex legal matters.
