Bill Summary
Relative to asbestos-related claims. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Section 2B of Chapter 260 of the General Laws, which likely pertains to statutes of limitations, or the time limits for filing lawsuits. Specifically, it adds a new provision stating that Section 2B will not apply to any legal action brought because of personal injury, disability, disease, or death that resulted from asbestos being released into the environment. This means that individuals harmed by asbestos exposure may have different time limits for filing their claims than those covered by the existing Section 2B.
