PHOENIX, Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In a joint effort to end lawsuit abuse and ensure that businesses receive the fair, efficient, and consistent justice system they deserve, the Public Policy Committee of the Arizona Technology Council and the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry today voiced strong support for recently introduced Arizona Tort Legislation that the two organizations recently worked together to define.

"We support the principal that it is important to fairly distribute awards to those who are truly harmed, but not unfairly distributed to legal counsel who often use the tort system as an industry in and of itself," said Steven G. Zylstra, president and CEO of the Arizona Technology Council.  "By reforming the current legislation to lower tort costs and litigation risks, we are committed to having Arizona's system of tort viewed by business as a key reason for locating in our state."
