## Summary

**Bars civil lawsuits against manufacturers and sellers of stone slab products for injuries tied to third-party fabrication.** It prohibits claims against those makers and sellers for harm that arises from the cutting, drilling, polishing, or other alteration of those products by someone else and calls for dismissal of pending qualified suits. - Manufacturers and sellers: They cannot be sued in federal or state court for injuries linked to third-party fabrication of qualified stone slab products, and pending qualified civil actions must be dismissed. - Workers and injured people: Individuals who claim harm from respirable silica or other substances produced during fabrication cannot bring civil actions against the product's manufacturer or seller for those fabrication-related injuries. - Consumers and the industry: The bill says it will preserve consumer access to stone slab products and protect an industry that employs tens of thousands of Americans. - Courts and commerce: The measure aims to stop what Congress describes as frivolous suits and to prevent legal actions that impose burdens on interstate and foreign commerce.
