New Maryland Governor Not Likely To Push For Bill On Market Share

摘要

Despite the fact that Governor-elect Martin O'Malley is a Democrat who might have an interest in the measure, sources said they doubted he would spend his new political capital on it and it would face a tough time in the General Assembly. HB 1394 would require manufacturers of lead-based paint to reimburse certain people for damages caused by the paint and would provide for those manufactures to be held liable under "any legally recognized theory of liability, including a market share theory of liability."
