Bill overview
This bill changes the rules for how long someone has to file a lawsuit related to groundwater contamination. Currently, the statute of limitations for these cases is determined differently. This legislation establishes that a lawsuit ‘accrues’ – meaning it becomes time-sensitive – when the plaintiff learns about the contamination or should have reasonably learned about it. This aims to provide more timely legal recourse for individuals affected by groundwater contamination.
