Mississippi SB2026 establishes requirements for disclosures in asbestos actions and allows dismissal without prejudice if requirements are not met.
Mississippi SB2026, the Asbestos Action Over-naming Reform Act, mandates that plaintiffs in asbestos actions file detailed disclosures within 30 days of filing. These disclosures must include the plaintiff's exposure details, the names and addresses of knowledgeable individuals, the manufacturers and brands of asbestos-containing products, and the sites of exposure. Discovery cannot begin against a defendant until their product or premises are identified in these disclosures.
