relative to the statute of limitations on civil actions involving PFAS.

HB 1089 changes the time limit for filing lawsuits related to harm caused by PFAS exposure, a type of chemical found in various consumer products. Under current law, individuals generally have six years from the date they discover their injury to file a civil suit, but this bill would remove that six-year restriction entirely. The new rule allows people to bring these legal actions at any time after they discover the injury and understand its connection to PFAS exposure. This change directly affects individuals seeking damages for PFAS-related health issues and the entities potentially held responsible for such exposure. The legislation is set to take effect on January 1, 2025.
