House Judiciary (House) Hearing
Room 200 at 13:30:00
Under existing law, the plaintiff in an action for damages from asbestos exposure is required to provide the defendant with certain information.
This bill would require a plaintiff to specify the basis for each claim against each defendant and provide additional, more detailed information relating to the asbestos exposure, including current and past worksites and each individual who is knowledgeable regarding the exposures.
This bill would allow a defendant in an asbestos action to be dismissed from the action if not identified as required.
This bill would also stay discovery in an asbestos action until the required disclosures have been made.
