US Senate Considers Class Action Bill

Washington Post reports: "Under the bill, class actions involving at least 100 plaintiffs could be sent to federal court if at least $5 million is at stake and fewer than two-thirds of the plaintiffs live in the same state as the primary defendant."

Update: according to this source the bill failed to reach a vote. Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu (D) is said to be largely in favor of the Class Action reform bill.
