    [4.15.15] Assembly Member Mark Stone, Chair Assembly Judiciary Committee 1020 N Street Room 104 Sacramento, CA 95814 via FAX (916) 319-2188 Re: AB 597 - OPPOSE Dear Assembly Member Stone: The Southern Coalition for Occupational Safety and Health (SoCalCOSH) is writing to strongly oppose AB 597 by Assembly Member Ken Cooley. SoCalCOSH is a grassroots regional organization dedicated exclusively to healthier and safer workplaces through education, advocacy, & empowerment. We represent workers from all industries, including but not limited to construction, factory, and auto workers who are exposed to asbestos daily. When our members or their family are ill and dying from asbestos, they may use state court to hold accountable the manufacturers, premises owners, and others who knew, since the 1930s about the horrendous dangers of asbestos but failed to warn or provide protection from this deadly toxin. AB 597 is designed to force these asbestos victims to jump through expensive and time- consuming legal hoops before they can move forward with a state court claim. The punishment for failing to follow all the bill’s procedures is delay of the victim’s state court case – which will in all likelihood assure those most ill will die before their case can be decided. The bill’s procedures dictate the victim’s legal strategy by requiring them to pursue claims with 50 or so asbestos trust funds before any lawsuit may proceed. Victims of mesothelioma, a disease caused only by asbestos, commonly survive less than a year or so after diagnosis. For them, justice delayed is justice denied. In practical terms, this means the victim and his/her family will be denied fair compensation - that means the corporate bad actors who poisoned the victim enjoy a financial windfall and avoid full accountability.
