Using an increasingly typical practice of naming the bill for precisely the OPPOSITE of the impact it would have if passed, the so-called Fairness in Class Action Litigation Act is a gift to Volskwagon. There are class action lawsuits forming all across the country in response to VW's illegal practices where they wrote and deployed software to their vehicles specifically designed to defeat the computers that regulate auto emissions.
Consumer affairs calls it the "VW Bail Out Bill".
