PA HB1913

Allows attorneys in civil trials to argue specific dollar amounts or mathematical formulas for economic and noneconomic damages during closing arguments, with defense attorneys permitted to argue for lesser amounts if liability is found

Requires parties to disclose to the court and opposing counsel their intent to argue specific damage amounts before closing arguments begin, except for economic damages when supporting evidence was introduced at trial

Mandates jury instructions clarifying that damage amounts or formulas argued by attorneys are not evidence and that determining appropriate damages is solely the jury's responsibility

Preserves defendants' right to argue that facts and evidence support a finding of no liability

Takes effect 60 days after enactment and amends Title 42 (Judiciary and Judicial Procedure) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes
