enforcement officers.

Input: Consider Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Small Business Liability Reform Act
of 2007''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds that--
(1) the defects in the United States civil justice system
have a direct and undesirable effect on interstate commerce by
decreasing the availability of goods and services in commerce;
(2) the spiraling costs of litigation and the magnitude and
unpredictability of punitive damage awards and noneconomic
damage awards have continued unabated for at least the past 30
years;
(3) the Supreme Court of the United States has recognized
that a punitive damage award can be unconstitutional if the
award is grossly excessive in relation to the legitimate
interest of the government in the punishment and deterrence of
unlawful conduct;
(4) just as punitive damage awards can be grossly
excessive, so can it be grossly excessive in some circumstances
for a party to be held responsible under the doctrine of joint
and several liability for damages that party did not cause;
(5) as a result of joint and several liability, entities
including small businesses are often brought into litigation
despite the fact that their conduct may have little or nothing
to do with the accident or transaction giving rise to the
lawsuit, and may therefore face increased and unjust costs due
to the possibility or result of unfair and disproportionate
damage awards;
(6) due to high liability costs and unwarranted litigation
costs, small businesses face higher costs in purchasing
insurance through interstate insurance markets to cover their
activities; and
(7) legislation to address these concerns is an appropriate
exercise of the powers of Congress under clauses 3, 9, and 18
of section 8 of article I of the Constitution of the United
States, and the 14th amendment to the Constitution of the
United States.
