What’s in it

This bill relates to civil actions involving asbestos and silica. The bill requires a plaintiff in an asbestos action, including an action alleging a nonmalignant or a malignant condition, or a silica action involving silicosis, to file with the petition or other initial pleading a sworn information form specifying the evidence that provides the basis for each claim against each defendant. The sworn information form must contain the information as detailed in the bill. Current law does not require a plaintiff in an asbestos action, including an action alleging a malignant condition, or a silica action involving silicosis, to file a sworn information form stating the basis for each claim against each defendant.

Changed since by amendments H-8134, S-5015; see Amendments.
