Legislative findings. [Effective January 1, 2020.]

 The General Assembly finds that:   (1) Asbestos-related claims threaten the continued viability of uniquely situated companies that have never manufactured, sold, or distributed asbestos or asbestos products and are liable only as successor corporations;  (2) The viability of these businesses is threatened due solely to their status as successor corporations by merger or consolidation based on actions taken prior to the 1972 adoption of asbestos regulations by the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration;  (3) Over twenty (20) other states have enacted legislation similar to this subchapter to provide limits on successor asbestos-related liabilities for innocent successors; and  (4) The public interest as a whole is best served by limiting the successor asbestos-related liabilities of innocent successors so that they may remain viable.

 The General Assembly has determined that nonprofit corporations serve important functions in providing services and assistance to persons in the state and that, in order for these nonprofit corporations to function effectively, persons serving on the board of directors should not be subject to vicarious liability for the negligence of corporate employees or other directors. The General Assembly has further determined that potential exposure to vicarious liability has a detrimental effect on the participation of persons as directors of nonprofit corporations and that providing immunity to directors of those corporations for certain types of liability will be in the best interest of the state and that the same immunity should be extended to members of governing bodies of governmental entities.
