Plain-English Summary

This bill would protect manufacturers and sellers of stone slab products (like granite and marble countertops) from being sued for injuries or illnesses allegedly caused by the products themselves, similar to protections that exist for firearms manufacturers. The law would shield these companies from lawsuits even if someone claims they got sick from exposure to dust or other hazards related to the stone slabs, though it would still allow cases involving defective products or failure to warn about dangers.
