Makes this Act inapplicable to an injury or death that results from an act or omission of a business entity that constitutes gross negligence or intentional misconduct, including misconduct that: (1) constitutes a hate crime or a crime of violence or act of international terrorism for which the defendant has been convicted in any court; or (2) involves a sexual offense for which the defendant has been convicted in any court or misconduct for which the defendant has been found to have violated a Federal or State civil rights law.
Preempts State laws to the extent that such laws are inconsistent with this Act, except State law that provides additional protection from liability. Specifies that this Act shall not be construed to supersede any Federal or State health or safety law.
Makes this Act inapplicable to any civil action in a State court against a business entity in which all parties are citizens of the State if such State, citing this Act's authority and containing no other provision, enacts a statute declaring the State's election that this Act shall not apply to such action in the State.

''(e)(1) In any action over which the court has jurisdiction under
this section, any party may, at any time not less than 10 days before
trial, serve upon any adverse party a written offer to settle a claim
or claims for money or property or to the effect specified in the
offer, including a motion to dismiss all claims, and to enter into a
stipulation dismissing the claim or claims or allowing judgment to be
entered according to the terms of the offer. Any such offer, together
with proof of service thereof, shall be filed with the clerk of the
court.
''(2) If the party receiving an offer under paragraph (1) serves
written notice on the offeror that the offer is accepted, either party
may then file with the clerk of the court the notice of acceptance,
together with proof of service thereof.
''(3) The fact that an offer under paragraph (1) is made but not
accepted does not preclude a subsequent offer under paragraph (1).
Evidence of an offer is not admissible for any purpose except in
proceedings to enforce a settlement, or to determine costs and expenses
under this subsection.
''(4) At any time before judgment is entered, the court, upon its
own motion or upon the motion of any party, may exempt from this
subsection any claim that the court finds presents a question of law or
fact that is novel and important and that substantially affects
nonparties. If a claim is exempted from this subsection, all offers
made by any party under paragraph (1) with respect to that claim shall
be void and have no effect.
''(5) If all offers made by a party under paragraph (1) with
respect to a claim or claims, including any motion to dismiss all
claims, are not accepted and the judgment, verdict, or order finally
issued (exclusive of costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees incurred
after judgment or trial) in the action under this section is not more
favorable to the offeree with respect to the claim or claims than the
last such offer, the offeror may file with the court, within 10 days
after the final judgment, verdict, or order is issued, a petition for
payment of costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred with
respect to the claim or claims from the date the last such offer was
made or, if the offeree made an offer under this subsection, from the
date the last such offer by the offeree was made.
''(6) If the court finds, pursuant to a petition filed under
paragraph (5) with respect to a claim or claims, that the judgment,
verdict, or order finally obtained is not more favorable to the offeree
with respect to the claim or claims than the last offer, the court
shall order the offeree to pay the offeror's costs and expenses,
including attorneys' fees, incurred with respect to the claim or claims
from the date the last offer was made or, if the offeree made an offer
under this subsection, from the date the last such offer by the offeree
was made, unless the court finds that requiring the payment of such
costs and expenses would be manifestly unjust.
''(7) Attorney's fees under paragraph (6) shall be a reasonable
attorney's fee attributable to the claim or claims involved, calculated
on the basis of an hourly rate which may not exceed that which the
court considers acceptable in the community in which the attorney
practices law, taking into account the attorney's qualifications and
experience and the complexity of the case, except that the attorney's
fees under paragraph (6) may not exceed--
''(A) the actual cost incurred by the offeree for an
attorney's fee payable to an attorney for services in
connection with the claim or claims; or
''(B) if no such cost was incurred by the offeree due to a
contingency fee agreement, a reasonable cost that would have
been incurred by the offeree for an attorney's noncontingent
fee payable to an attorney for services in connection with the
claim or claims.
''(8) This subsection does not apply to any claim seeking an
equitable remedy.''.

opinion by a witness that is based on scientific knowledge shall be
inadmissible in evidence unless the court determines that such
opinion--
''(1) is scientifically valid and reliable;
''(2) has a valid scientific connection to the fact it is
offered to prove; and
''(3) is sufficiently reliable so that the probative value
of such evidence outweighs the dangers specified in rule 403.
''(c) Disqualification.--Testimony by a witness who is qualified as
described in subdivision (a) is inadmissible in evidence if the witness
is entitled to receive any compensation contingent on the legal
disposition of any claim with respect to which the testimony is
offered.

proceedings.''.
