Abstract: Provides relative to vicarious liability of an employer.
Proposed law provides that when a defendant is alleged to be vicariously liable for the acts of an

agent, or other person, evidence of independent fault of the vicariously liable defendant, including
alleged negligent hiring, training, retention, or entrustment shall not be admissible.
