AI Summary
This bill amends Section 2946 of the Revised Judicature Act of 1961 to establish a rebuttable presumption that a manufacturer or seller is not liable in a product liability action if the aspect of the product that allegedly caused the harm was in compliance with relevant federal or state standards or regulations at the time it was sold or delivered. The bill also outlines specific requirements for proving an alternative production practice was available to prevent the harm. Additionally, the bill allows evidence of a philosophy, theory, knowledge, technique, or procedure learned, used, or discontinued after the event causing harm to be admissible only for certain limited purposes.
