State lawmakers are writing rules for some of the products in the cases we cover. Some state laws add safety rules or let injured people sue. One shields a company from certain lawsuits. This page lists each state law and bill we follow, grouped by case.
A state bill becomes law only after both chambers pass it and the governor signs it. A new law often starts months after it is signed, so each law shows its start date. For bills in Washington, see bills in Congress. For where each case stands in court, see the status board.
A state law can change what a company must do. The deadline to file a lawsuit keeps running either way. If you were hurt by a product on this page, a free case review can check your dates. Pick what fits:

How this page works: we follow these laws and bills through Open States, which collects each legislature’s official record, and check them three times a day. The stage shows how far each one has gotten. The last move is the newest vote or signature that changed where it stands. We list the state laws and bills we have read, so a state missing here may still have a law on the subject.
If a product on this page hurt you or someone in your family, a free case review can look at your records and your diagnosis date. It can tell you which deadlines apply to you.
