the troy and alana safety act would require doctors in california to submit to drug and alcohol testing. >> many others have testing. bus drivers, airline pilots. we feel that anyone who has a patient or a person safety and life in their hand sz should have to go through this. >> it would also lift a $250,000 cap on damages in medical malpractice cases. >> i'm attempting to overturn that law completely so there's no cap limits and that a jury decides on the award for the death of a victim. and what they should fairly receive. >> in response to that effort. a spokeswoman for the california medical association said this is another trial lawyer money grab and attempt to gain publicity. the group lifting a cap would lead to many more lawsuits and increase malpractice insurance costs and cause doctors to leave the state. pack says that would make doctors more accountable. >> pack says he has received more than $2 million in support for his initiative and if he is successful, he hopes to put it on the november ballot next year. reporting live in danville, nbc bay area news. >>> still ahead at
