SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Removal of action involving more than $3,000. Provides that if the plaintiff objects to the defendant's motion for removal of a case from district court to circuit court on the basis of jurisdictional amount, the district court may hear evidence to determine whether the defendant has a substantial defense to the action, exclusive of the sole issue of the amount or computation of damages. If the court finds that the defendant has no substantial defense, the removal application shall be denied. Currently there is no provision for a hearing upon objection by the plaintiff.
