It is clear that this whole issue of suing employers is critically important. In debates, again and again we hear that the Kennedy bill does not allow employers to be sued. Yet if you read their bill, there are all these pages and pages of exceptions. I want to clarify, for my own use, the law in Texas. It says ``does not create any liability on the part of an employer'' and then there is a period. Does the Texas law have many exceptions after that?
