The agency is suing the former Red Sox pitcher and 13 others after 38 Studios went bankrupt. The agency was responsible for a $75 million loan guarantee given to the company. The bill under consideration would shield any party that settles with the state from a lawsuit filed by a co-defendant over damages that co-defendant is found liable for.
