“I thought what I might do for a few moments, while we are waiting for leadership on both sides of the aisle to see if we can't find an agreement on how to proceed to this legislation, is to deal with some finer points that are involved in the legislation. My guess is, over the course of this week and probably the next week, you are going to hear a great deal said about the bill--11 pages, a relatively small bill--and what it does or does not do. S. 1805 has basically two substantive provisions. First, section 3(a) states that: A qualified civil liability action may not be brought in a Federal or State court. A qualified action may not be brought. Second, section 3(b) orders the immediate dismissal of a qualified civil liability action pending on the date of enactment of S. 1805.”
