Relating to statute of limitations for asbestos and silica litigation

Summary

The bill changes the clock on filing asbestos or silica claims, starting it only after a diagnosis, discovery of relevant facts, or the victim’s death. It leaves already‑time‑barred cases dead, protects existing settlements, and limits lawsuits against certain mining‑equipment makers. The changes aim to clarify claim timing and narrow liability for equipment manufacturers.
