Notes

Amends Constitution. Under the Oregon Constitution, the right to jury trial restricts the legislature's authority to limit recovery of some kinds of damages in some civil actions. This measure overrides that restriction by adding a new constitutional provision expressly allowing legislature to impose limits on damages that may be recovered in any civil action.
