Protection of Lawful Commerce in Stone Slab Products Act
Ordered to be Reported (Amended) by the Yeas and Nays: 16 - 7.
Summary
The bill stops people from suing manufacturers or sellers of stone slab products when workers are hurt by silica dust created during cutting, drilling, or polishing by independent fabricators. It protects makers, distributors and retailers from liability they cannot control, while leaving fabricators themselves responsible under existing safety laws. The goal is to curb what supporters call frivolous lawsuits and keep the stone slab industry stable.
