Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2024
This bill amends the 2022 Camp Lejeune Justice Act to clarify and correct technical details. It updates eligibility requirements for claimants (requiring 30 days at Camp Lejeune and defining "latent harm" instead of "latent disease"), clarifies court jurisdiction for cases, and specifies attorney fee structures (20% pre-litigation, 25% post-litigation). The changes directly affect individuals who developed health issues due to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, streamlining their legal process under the existing 2022 law.
