Summary

The bill would force anyone filing an asbestos lawsuit in Mississippi to submit a sworn statement within 30 days that lists personal data, exposure details, and all asbestos trust claims. Courts could dismiss the action without prejudice if the plaintiff fails to meet these disclosure requirements. The goal is to increase transparency and prevent undisclosed or duplicate claims in asbestos litigation.
