The Asbestos Action Over-Naming Reform Act; create to regulate.

HB 1396, the "Asbestos Action Over-Naming Reform Act," requires plaintiffs in asbestos lawsuits to submit detailed sworn disclosures within 30 days of filing their case. This includes full exposure history, prior lawsuits, asbestos trust claims, and supporting documentation to identify specific defendants linked to the plaintiff's exposure. The bill allows courts to dismiss cases without prejudice if plaintiffs fail to meet these disclosure requirements, aiming to reduce frivolous lawsuits against multiple defendants ("over-naming").
