Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill would create a Compensation Fund for Asbestos Victims, managed by the National Social Security Institute, to repair health damage from asbestos exposure at work, at home, or in the environment.
  2. Those eligible would include people with a recognized occupational disease caused by asbestos, people whose illness was mainly or partly caused by asbestos, and the heirs of both groups.
  3. The process would start with an application to the National Social Security Institute, which must issue a proposed decision within three months. If there is no express response within six months, the application is deemed rejected.
  4. The Fund would start operating the day its implementing regulation takes effect, which must be issued within three months of the law's publication, and the law would enter into force twenty days after publication in the official state gazette.

Who it affects

  • People with asbestos-related illnesses: Could apply for financial compensation for asbestos-related health damage without going to court.
  • Relatives or heirs of victims: Could receive the compensation if the affected person has died.
  • National Social Security Institute (Instituto Nacional de la Seguridad Social): Would process applications, issue decisions, and pay compensation from the Fund.
  • Unions, employers, experts, and asbestos victims' associations: Would sit on the monitoring commission, which advises and proposes improvements, without pay.

Where does all this come from?

  • The data comes from the open files of the Congreso, the Senate and the BOE, unaltered.
  • Each deputy’s province is the one of their seat on the day of the vote.
  • We only say “passed” or “rejected” when the majority needed is certain; otherwise we say which side had more votes.
