(SACRAMENTO, CA) – Senator Bill Monning (D-Carmel) issued the following statement about the Governor’s signing his Senate Bill (SB) 645, which limits the timeframe victims of mesothelioma or silicosis may be deposed by defendants.
“I am pleased to see that Governor Newsom shares my commitment to protect victims of mesothelioma and silicosis during the deposition process,” said Senator Monning. “Without these time limits, marathon depositions will continue to inflict undue emotional and physical harm on these victims during their final days of life.”
