Journal of the House


First Regular Session, 93rd General Assembly




FORTIETH DAY, Wednesday, March 16, 2005

The House met pursuant to adjournment.


            Speaker Pro Tem Bearden in the Chair.


            Prayer by Reverend James Earl Jackson.


              We give You LORD the glory due Your name; we worship You LORD in the splendor of Your holiness. Your voice moves the waters. The voice of Your glory thunders throughout the whole earth. Your voice is powerful and majestic.


              May we position ourselves today to hear Your voice that we might be blessed with peace, strength and insight.


              We are determined, with Your help, to drive offense and anger far from us; for there is no profit in that. In our deliberations today, may we seek not the applause of man, but the applause of Heaven.


              Grant us rest and enjoyment of family during the upcoming Spring break and may we return refreshed and ready to tackle the concluding issues of this session.


              Grace be with us all.


              In the authority of Your Son’s name, we pray. Amen.


            The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.


            The Speaker appointed the following to act as Honorary Pages for the Day, to serve without compensation: Meredith Brunkow, Jordan Ousley, Emily Ousley, Mark Baehr and Matt Hunt.


            The Journal of the thirty-ninth day was approved as corrected.

AMEND House Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 394, Page 13, Section 383.501, Line 4, by inserting after all of said line the following:


              "538.230. 1. In any action against a health care provider for damages for personal injury or death on account of the rendering of or failure to render health care services where fault is apportioned among the parties and persons released pursuant to subsection 3 of this section, the court, unless otherwise agreed by all the parties, shall instruct the jury to apportion fault among such persons and parties, or the court, if there is no jury, shall make findings, indicating the percentage of total fault of all the parties to each claim that is allocated to each party and person who has been released from liability under subsection 3 of this section.

              2. The court shall determine the award of damages to each plaintiff in accordance with the findings, subject to any reduction under subsection 3 of this section and enter judgment against each party liable on the basis of the rules of joint and several liability[. However, notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection, any defendant against whom an award of damages is made shall be jointly liable only with those defendants whose apportioned percentage of fault is equal to or less than such defendant] as established in section 537.067, RSMo.

              3. Any release, covenant not to sue, or similar agreement entered into by a claimant and a person or entity against which a claim is asserted arising out of the alleged transaction which is the basis for plaintiff's cause of action, whether actually made a party to the action or not, discharges that person or entity from all liability for contribution or indemnity but it does not discharge other persons or entities liable upon such claim unless it so provides. However, the claim of the releasing person against other persons or entities is reduced by the amount of the released persons' or entities' equitable share of the total obligation imposed by the court pursuant to a full apportionment of fault under this section as though there had been no release."; and


              Further amend said title, enacting clause and intersectional references accordingly.


            Representative Behnen assumed the Chair.

              Further amend said bill, Page 9, Section 383.407, Line 7, by inserting at the end of said line the following:


              "As used in sections 383.404, 383.405, and 383.406, "insurance premium rate" means the base rate as established herein plus such schedule rating or individual risk rating credits or debits as allowed under regulations promulgated by the department of insurance."; and
