§ 60-4918 Applicability of act.

If you file an asbestos-related lawsuit in Kansas on or after July 1, 2018, this law applies to your case. It does not reach back to cover claims filed before that date.

This matters because it sets a clear starting point for when the rules take effect. If your claim was filed before July 1, 2018, the earlier legal standards and procedures would apply instead. If you're not sure when your claim officially counts as "filed," it's a good idea to check with a lawyer, since that date determines which set of rules governs your case.
