CSSB 749 by Janek, relating to multidistrict litigation proceedings in cases involving claims for asbestos-related or silica-related injuries, faced no opposition in the Senate Committee on State Affairs yesterday and was reported favorably with the recommendation it be placed on the Local and Uncontested Calendar.
