An Act to restore the statute of limitations for deaths due to tobacco use

This bill amends a law to allow survivors or estates to file lawsuits seeking damages for deaths caused by tobacco use, even if the person who died didn't file a claim in time. It specifically states that these death-related lawsuits are separate from any personal injury claim the deceased might have filed and can be brought regardless of whether the decedent acted promptly. The law applies retroactively to July 6, 2023, meaning it affects cases where deaths occurred before the bill's passage. This change directly impacts families seeking legal recourse for tobacco-related fatalities.
