Also makes these substantive changes: Amends the Code of Civil Procedure to lower the rate of interest payable on judgments; to provide for annual indexing of those rates; and to delay the accrual of interest in certain cases where a federal Medicare lien may exist against the judgment. Amends the Wrongful Death Act to undo the changes made by Public Act 95-003: removes a reference to certain types of damages that may be included in a jury award and restores certain historic limitations on the amount of damages that may be awarded.
