Bill Summary

AI Summary

This bill removes the statute of limitations for civil actions related to damages resulting from exposure to PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), a group of synthetic chemicals that have been found in various environmental and consumer products. The bill allows for civil actions to be brought at any time after the plaintiff or the state discovers the harm, injury, or damages and the causal relationship to the PFAS exposure, without the previous 6-year time limit. This change aims to provide more time for individuals and the state to pursue legal action for PFAS-related harms.
