CIVIL/LAW: Provides relative to transparency in asbestos actions

HB 302 requires asbestos lawsuit claimants in Louisiana to disclose all related asbestos trust claims within 30 days of filing their case. This includes providing detailed exposure history, work records, medical evidence, and all trust-related documents (like claim forms and settlement records). The bill mandates that defendants can challenge incomplete disclosures 60 days before trial, and courts must delay trials for 90 days if additional trust claims are needed. It also makes asbestos trust materials automatically admissible in court without privilege claims, directly affecting plaintiffs, defendants, and asbestos trusts in civil litigation.
