Texas bill, a trucking priority for tort reform, dies in House committee
Legislation that passed the Texas Senate last month and that the trucking industry believed would bring about 'much-needed reforms' in trucking-related lawsuits has died in the House. But another piece of legislation backed by the industry, SB30, and its companion bill, HB 4806, are still considered alive as the Texas state legislative session races toward its Monday conclusion. The companion House bill to SB39, approved in April, was HB 4688. It was referred to the Committee for Judiciary & Civil Jurisprudence. While the House of Representatives' docket for the legislation shows several steps at the committee, including public hearings, there is no vote on the list of no action taken on the bill in recent days, barring a miraculous turn of events, the bill is considered dead in the Texas Legislature, which meets every two years. When the bill passed in the Senate, it was hailed by the Texas Trucking Association. In a prepared statement released at the time, TTA President John Esparaza said the legislation 'marks a significant step forward in protecting the integrity of our legal system and Texas trucking industry.' 'This bill introduces much-needed reforms to how commercial motor vehicle collision cases are handled in Texas courts,' he said at the time. 'These reforms will establish fair, consistent, and statewide standards, helping to ensure that justice is applied equally across the state.' But in a statement released to FreightWaves Thursday, Esparaza conceded defeat for this session.'SB 39 was an important piece of our tort reform package …,' he said in the statement. 'As a priority…we are disappointed that SB 39 died in the House Judiciary & Civil Jurisprudence Committee and will not become law this session.' In a commentary about what SB39 and its companion House bill would have accomplished, attorneys for the law firm of Lewis Brisbois touched on several key points. One change would have minimized questions about the background of the driver, according to the law firm. 'Where defendant trucking companies have already stipulated to their drivers being in the course and scope of employment, plaintiffs' attorneys can no longer inflame juries with arguments about the trucking companies' actions when they have no causal/legal relationship with the harms alleged,' Lewis Brisbois said. 'In other words, if a case goes on to trial, then the jury should solely be focused on the actions of the drivers involved in the incident.' SB39 also was the vehicle that the TTA spoke of last year in trying to complete the unfinished work of HB 19, passed in 2021 but generally seen as not providing the relief in litigation that trucking attorneys had expected. In an interview last year with FreightWaves, Lee Parsley, general counsel for Texans for Lawsuit Reform (TLS), said one of the goals of HB 19 was to give new emphasis to the 'admission rule.' Last year, Parsley said of that rule: 'It basically says that if I, as the employer, agree to accept responsibility for my employees' actions that may have caused the injury, it is supposed to simplify the trial. You don't need to go down the rabbit hole of figuring out things like negligent hiring and negligent training. It's supposed to simplify it so that in the trial, you're just focused on who actually caused the accident and what the damages are at that point.' The Lewis Brisbois commentary said SB39 would have 'recognized the admissions rule by eliminating key exceptions.' Quoting a precedent involving Werner Enterprises (NASDAQ: WERN), the attorneys said the admission rule clarifies that an 'employer's admission that an employee was acting in the course and scope of their employment when the employee allegedly engaged in negligent conduct bars a party allegedly injured by the employee's negligence from pursuing derivative theories of negligence against the employer.' That citation quoted by the attorneys is from the case of Blake vs. Werner, the nuclear verdict initially handed down in 2018 and which now awaits a decision by the Texas Supreme Court following oral arguments in December. The original verdict, less than $90 million, has ballooned to more than $100 million with case involves the death and injuries in a family that crossed the median strip in bad winter weather in West Texas and collided with a Werner truck headed the other direction. The jury verdict that the Werner driver should have been going slower in that weather and would therefore not have been in position to slam into the oncoming vehicle has been a particular source of anger within trucking. But the Blake family involved in the crash won at trial and on appeal before it headed to the state's highest court. The Lewis Brisbois commentary said the critics of SB39 'have voiced concerns that this change will further stifle plaintiffs' abilities to ensure that juries consider all parties and trucking companies' own liability in the harms by alleged company misdeeds.' There is still hope at the TTA for SB30, which seeks to limit various types of payouts in crashes involving trucks through a variety of steps. Like SB39, SB30 passed the Senate. It is considered to have life as HB 4806 before the end of the legislative session. 'We will continue to pursue tort reform in SB30, however, as we head into the weekend and our final day of session on Monday, June 2,' Esparaza said. HB 4806, is still listed as being in committee in the House. In a blog post from the law firm of Varghese Summersett, which among other activities represents plaintiffs suing trucking companies, the firm summed up the key points in the legislation. It would place caps on economic damages, the firm said. It restricts payouts only to amounts paid by the plaintiffs rather than what was billed by the providers of health care services to the plaintiffs. It makes changes in rules of evidence and also changes various liability standards. A jury must be unanimous in settling on noneconomic standards. There is also a shift in defining interest charges. In a summary of SB30 published by TLS, the organization said the combined SB30/HB 4806 'guides jurors with fair and consistent rules for awarding noneconomic damages, ensuring they are truly compensatory.' Among the provisions in the bill, according to TLS, are that the legislation 'gives jurors understandable definitions of pain and suffering and mental anguish and clear instructions that those damages should be based on the plaintiff's injury — not the defendant's conduct that is unrelated to the incident being litigated — and cannot be used to punish a defendant.'

THE CLAIRES WORKSHOP OPENS TO PUBLIC: PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT CIRCLE FOR SOBER WITCHES LAUNCHES JUNE 2025
Designed as a Workshop for Witches, The Claires Workshop is a live, psychic development experience that helps participants strengthen their innate abilities. 'Recovery cracked me open—and what poured out were visions and feelings I couldn't explain. I wasn't broken—I was waking up. The Claires Workshop helps others trust their gifts too.'— Sunshine Witchski DETROIT, MI, UNITED STATES, May 30, 2025 / / -- What if your deepest intuitive gifts were not a distraction from your sobriety, but a path toward it? For many witches in recovery, reconnecting with their psychic senses has become a profound part of healing. Now, for the first time, the Recovery Coven is opening its signature members-only series to the public, beginning with The Claires Workshop in June. This new public event, offered monthly through the Recovery Coven, represents a key milestone for the Sober Witch Life Movement. Designed as a Workshop for Witches in Recovery, The Claires Workshop is a live, two-hour psychic development experience that helps participants strengthen their innate abilities while staying grounded in sobriety. The event is also available via the Sober Witch Mobile App, which has become a vital resource for witches navigating spiritual recovery. By linking recovery with psychic development, Sunshine—founder of the Sober Witch Life Movement and creator of The Recovery Coven—has sparked a national conversation around sober witchcraft and holistic transformation. A NEW CHAPTER IN SOBER WITCH LIFE Founded in 2024, the Sober Witch Life Movement began as a response to the lack of spiritual alignment in traditional recovery spaces. Sunshine, a recovering alcoholic, psychic medium, and spiritual teacher, saw an urgent need for witches and spiritual seekers to heal on their own terms. Since its founding, her programs have guided hundreds through spiritual recovery programs rooted in ritual, intuition, and community support. The Recovery Coven is the core of this growing movement. It offers weekly community circles, monthly workshops, and a mobile app filled with witch's recovery tools, magickal recovery tools, and shadow work in recovery practices. Until now, these offerings were exclusive to members. Beginning June 2025, they will become more accessible through a series of public workshops, each designed to explore witchcraft and sobriety in unique ways. INSIDE THE CLAIRES WORKSHOP The Claires Workshop focuses on psychic development for witches in recovery, guiding attendees through three interactive exercises that support connection to their clair senses—including clairvoyance (clear seeing), clairsentience (clear feeling), and clairaudience (clear hearing). Key features of the June workshop include: Live two-hour format held via Zoom and the Sober Witch Mobile App Rotating development exercises such as intuitive drawing, direct reading, and beginner telepathy Small-group experiences for deeper confidence-building and spiritual connection A 30-minute social integration session for connection with others in recovery This is more than a skills workshop. It is designed to help witches in recovery strengthen their intuition, rebuild self-trust, and feel spiritually grounded without relying solely on external tools like tarot or pendulums. A UNIQUE APPROACH TO RECOVERY Unlike traditional recovery programs, which often focus on abstinence and behavioral change, The Claires Workshop integrates mystical and intuitive practices that honor a participant's spiritual gifts. For witches and spiritually sensitive individuals, this approach fills a critical gap. 'When I first got sober, my psychic abilities came roaring back—and honestly, it felt like I was going crazy,' said Sunshine. 'But when I realized what was happening, everything clicked. I wasn't broken. I was finally hearing myself again. And now? I don't go a day without using my abilities. They're my compass.' This perspective is increasingly resonating with a growing community seeking recovery that affirms their intuitive gifts. The Claires Workshop helps reframe psychic development not as a distraction from sobriety, but as an anchor. REAL STORIES, REAL TRANSFORMATION 'For the first time, I felt understood,' said a Recovery Coven member who first attended the Claires Workshop in 2023. 'I used to second-guess everything. Now, I listen to my gut—and it's almost always right. I don't even reach for my pendulum anymore. I trust myself.' With hundreds of downloads of the Sober Witch Mobile App and a membership base that continues to grow, the program is showing tangible results. Members report increases in daily ritual use, clarity in decision-making, and long-term sobriety gains when engaging with spiritual tools that feel aligned. WHY THIS MATTERS Witches in recovery face unique challenges. Many traditional recovery paths discourage the exploration of spirituality outside predefined belief systems. The Sober Witch Life model addresses this by offering customized, intuitive pathways that respect spiritual autonomy. The Claires Workshop is the first of many public experiences designed to make this healing more accessible. It also reflects the broader mission of The Recovery Coven: to make witch's recovery tools widely available to anyone who resonates with the blend of mysticism and sobriety. EVENT DETAILS The Claires Workshop Date: Thursday, June 12, 2025 Time: 7 PM EST Location: Live via Zoom Participants must be 18 or older and identify as being in recovery or actively seeking spiritual sobriety. ABOUT THE SOBER WITCH LIFE The Sober Witch Life is a spiritual recovery movement supporting witches in recovery through community, ritual, education, and intuitive development. Founded by Sunshine Witchski in 2020, it is home to the Recovery Coven membership, the Sober Witch Mobile App, and a growing catalog of tools, workshops, and media designed for long-term transformation.

Is there a leadership crisis brewing? Why leadership development programs are a must-have in 2025
Is there a leadership crisis brewing? Why leadership development programs are a must-have in 2025 The business world is at a leadership crossroads. Baby Boomers are retiring en masse, and a new generation of employees is upending traditional workplace expectations. What's more, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence and an increasing focus on employee mental health are disrupting long-held norms in the workplace. It's a recipe for unrest in the hands of unprepared leaders-which is why, according to Gartner, leadership and management development has been a top priority for HR departments in 2025, reports Paylocity, an HR and payroll software company. Why leadership programs are crucial for organizational success Leadership programs aligned with business strategies are the secret to long-term success. It's not just an HR initiative but a strategic business move, as effective leaders should boost productivity, morale, and innovation across the board. This significance is undeniable, yet a Brandon Hall study found that only 13% of organizations believe their leadership development programs are fully aligned with their business strategy. Good leaders are also a hedge against miscommunication, stalled initiatives, and high employee turnover, which eat into an organization's bottom line. How can organizations elevate their leaders to drive business success effectively? The key phases of building a leadership development program A successful leadership development program isn't haphazard. It requires an intentional, structured approach that accounts for the following core phases: 1. Leadership Assessment and Skills Gap Analysis Building the right program starts with understanding your leadership needs. Conducting a leadership skills gap analysis helps evaluate existing capabilities and gaps, ensuring programs are tailored to foster growth. By engaging with executives, frontline managers, and employees, HR teams can identify core competencies that leaders across levels should master. Focus on both universal skills like communication, adaptability, and emotional intelligence, as well as role-specific needs such as technical and industry-specific capabilities. While broader skills are essential to any leadership development program, it's equally important to root the initiative in your company's core values. "Your mission, vision, and values are the foundation," says Dr. Drew Fockler, a professor specializing in HR and Leadership studies at University Canada West. "Leadership programs help integrate these values into daily routines, creating alignment and fostering success at every level." Organizations that tie these needs directly to key business goals, like productivity or innovation, stand to see a measurable return on investment from leadership training. 2. Strategic Alignment and Making the Case Securing executive buy-in is crucial. To align leadership initiatives with broader business objectives, HR leaders must clearly demonstrate the positive cost-to-benefit. How does this program drive innovation? What's the cost of not developing leaders? Framing leadership initiatives as solutions to current or potential business problems can sway decision-makers. For example, a lack of skilled managers could lead to employee turnover. And equipping leaders to manage change or improve communication mitigates such risks. Bethany Romestan-Byrne, director of learning and development at Paylocity, emphasizes the importance of HR leaders customizing their message to suit their audience. "Knowing your audience is so important," she said in a webinar on leadership development programs. "While I may talk to a CFO about revenue pull-through, I might talk to a frontline leader more about efficiency, better partnering, and teaming.," 3. Designing a Framework An effective program builds leaders at every stage-from new managers to senior leaders. Businesses can establish clear goals using assessments from Phase 1. Scenarios such as succession planning, leadership pipelines for high-growth teams, or cross-functional initiatives influence the program's structure. In a leadership development webinar, Angela Ostermann, Paylocity's manager of organizational learning and effectiveness, stresses the need for an engaging curriculum that meets the needs of diverse learners. Role play and simulations play an important role as well, Ostermann notes. "Sometimes role plays can seem or feel awkward," she said. "But the truth is that the brain doesn't know the difference between practice and reality. It processes the same, so it will help you improve." 4. Implementation and Continuous Improvement The final, ongoing phase focuses on rolling out the program and collecting feedback to refine it over time. Metrics like promotion rates, engagement scores, or course completion rates can track progress and demonstrate value. Annual updates based on skills gap analyses ensure programs evolve with the organization's needs. 5. Lead by Example Amid the fast-changing dynamics of today's workplace, prioritizing continuous growth and improvement has become essential. According to Ostermann, this commitment to learning must begin at the top. "Demonstrate a culture of growth and improvement at the organizational level," she said. "When employees see leadership evolving and improving, it sets the tone for everyone to value continuous learning."
