Cannon, Chris [R-UT-3] | UT | R | C000116 | 21 | Amends Federal bankruptcy law to disallow a claim to which an objection has been raised to the extent that it is a nonmalignant asbestos related claim (including a claim for pleural plaques, asymptomatic pleural thickening, asbestosis, fear of cancer, emotional distress, and medical surveillance).Allows a nonmalignant asbestos related claim, however, for: (1) permanent breathing impairment; or (2) a survivor claim where the decedent's death was caused by exposure to asbestos or asbestos-containing products.States that when and if a person develops a subsequent asbestos related claim that is allowable, then a previously disallowed claim may proceed as an allowable demand against either the reorganized debtor, or against a trust set up as part of a reorganization case for holders of allowable asbestos related claims and asbestos related demands. | 2025-01-02T16:51:45Z | https://www.congress.gov/bill/107th-congress/house-bill/4696 |
