            FAIRNESS IN CLASS ACTION LITIGATION ACT OF 2015

  The Committee resumed its sitting.


                 Amendment No. 10 Offered by Mr. Nadler

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 10 
printed in House Report 114-389.
  Mr. NADLER. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Beginning on page 2, strike line 5 and all that follows 
     through line 2 on page 3, and insert the following:
       ``(8) A trust described in paragraph (2) shall file with 
     the bankruptcy court, not later than 60 days after the end of 
     every quarter, a report that shall be made available on the 
     court's public docket and with respect to each such reporting 
     period contains an aggregate list of demands received and an 
     aggregate list of payments made.''.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 581, the gentleman 
from New York (Mr. Nadler) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New York.
  Mr. NADLER. Madam Chair, my amendment would address the bill's 
serious violation of the privacy of asbestos victims. Instead of 
requiring asbestos trusts to disclose detailed personal information 
about asbestos victims, as the bill would do, my amendment would 
require aggregate reporting of the demands received and payments made 
by those trusts. This would ensure transparency of the trusts without 
jeopardizing the privacy of the victims.
  Let's remember why these asbestos trusts are established in the first 
place. Corporations that knowingly produced a toxic substance that 
killed or seriously injured unsuspecting American consumers and workers 
have since been held accountable for their practices through 
litigation. Asbestos companies that enter bankruptcy have the option of 
establishing a trust to satisfy the obligations to their victims while 
shielding themselves from future claims when they emerge from 
bankruptcy.
  As if contracting a painful and life-threatening disease like lung 
cancer or mesothelioma from exposure to asbestos is not bad enough, 
this bill would further victimize claimants by putting their personal 
information on the Internet, available to anyone who may seek to take 
advantage of them. The bill would require each asbestos trust to list 
the payment demands it has received, the amounts demanded, as well as 
the names and exposure histories of each claimant, along with the basis 
for any payment from the trust of such claimant. This information would 
be posted on the public docket of the court that established the trust, 
a docket that is easily accessible on the Internet through paying a 
nominal fee.
  Now, it is true that the reports required under this bill would not 
include any ``confidential medical record''--a term that is undefined--
or a claimant's full Social Security number, but with just the 
information that the bill requires to be provided, one can still

[[Page 223]]

learn a tremendous amount of sensitive health information about a 
victim. Releasing such information is an invitation to scam artists, to 
identity thieves, as well as to data brokers who may use the 
information collected to deny employment or credit or insurance to the 
victims.
  To prevent this totally unnecessary and wrong invasion of privacy, my 
amendment would say, okay, we will release aggregate data from the 
trust sufficient to ensure transparency and to combat the imagined 
fraud claimed by supporters of the bill, but we won't expose the 
personal information of asbestos victims and make them vulnerable to 
further victimization.
  Rather than standing with the corporations supporting this 
legislation, which spent decades poisoning Americans with asbestos, I 
urge my colleagues to stand with Susan Vento, a fierce opponent of this 
bill and the widow of our former colleague Bruce Vento, who lost his 
life due to asbestos exposure.
  Stand with the many organizations opposing this bill that do not wish 
to see asbestos victims' personal information compromised. Stand with 
the victims who have suffered enough.
  If you believe there is fraud, fine. The amendment would say present 
the aggregate information which would prevent or reveal the fraud, but 
don't further victimize the victims by putting their personal 
information on the Internet so that they can be further victimized in 
their privacy, and in reality they can be victimized by scam artists or 
employers or others.
  I urge adoption of the Nadler amendment.
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. FARENTHOLD. Madam Chair, I claim the time in opposition to the 
gentleman's amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. FARENTHOLD. Madam Chair, the FACT Act requires increased 
transparency to combat fraud committed against the asbestos trusts. 
This amendment strikes the requirement that the asbestos trusts publish 
the very data that would be necessary to detect the fraud between the 
trusts and State court tort proceedings.
  In its place, the amendment calls for quarterly reports under the 
bill to publish only aggregate lists of demands received and aggregate 
lists of payments made by the trusts. Simple aggregation of information 
is not enough to allow defendants and State court parties and sister 
asbestos trusts to make meaningful inquiry into whether or not they are 
being defrauded.
  The amendment also removes the requirement that the asbestos trusts 
respond to information requests from parties subject to asbestos-
related suits and imposes the cost of such requests on the inquiring 
parties. The cost-shifting element of this provision is significant. In 
fact, a GAO report found that one asbestos trust had to pay over $1 
million to respond to a discovery request. Rather than have asbestos 
trust money used to comply with discovery requests, they should be 
preserved for the payment to the victims of asbestos-related illnesses.
  This amendment not only guts the transparency requirements and 
elements of the bill, it also removes meaningful cost-saving measures. 
In fact, the bill is carefully crafted to protect folks' privacy. Here 
is what happens: The legislation ensures that claimants' confidential 
medical records and full Social Security numbers will not be made 
public.
  Trust reports are also subject to the Bankruptcy Code's existing 
privacy protections. Section 107 of the code, for example, allows 
courts to protect any information that would present an undue risk of 
identity theft or injure a claimant if disclosed. Rule 9037 of the 
Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, Privacy Protection for Filings 
Made with the Court, would also apply to these public reports. The rule 
would allow the courts to require redactions of personal and private 
information. Finally, rule 9037 will allow the courts to limit or 
prohibit electronic access to the trust reports.
  Courts throughout the country already use these rules to protect the 
personal information of individuals who file claims during asbestos 
bankruptcies. For example, the court, in overseeing a Garlock 
bankruptcy, redacted trust claims information that was introduced into 
a hearing record and later released to the public. Other courts have 
required anyone reviewing bankruptcy claims to agree to strict 
protective ordinances.
  Witnesses at the House Committee on the Judiciary on the FACT Act 
have explained that the bill does not threaten asbestos victims' 
privacy and that asbestos claimants routinely disclose more information 
than the trust would be required to report in the course of tort 
litigation and bankruptcy proceedings.
  For these and other reasons, I urge my colleagues to oppose the 
Nadler amendment.
  Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. NADLER. Madam Chair, we should realize that the Bankruptcy Code 
sections cited by the distinguished gentleman from Texas are 
permissive, not mandatory. Bankruptcy Code section 107(c), for example, 
permits, but does not require, the bankruptcy court to issue an order 
prohibiting the disclosure of certain information pertaining to an 
individual for cause if the court finds that disclosure of such 
information would create undue risk of identity theft or other unlawful 
injury to the individual or the individual's property.
  In other words, the victim here, who has been victimized by the 
people who produced the asbestos, would now have to go into court and 
request the protective order. The burden would be on the victim.
  Why are we putting the burden on the victim instead of on the 
tortfeasor? The bill would do that. The Bankruptcy Code's section 107 
so-called privacy protection is not automatic. As a result, the 
asbestos victim would have to retain counsel and go to court to prove 
cause to obtain relief. Again, you are shifting the burden further to 
the victim from the tortfeasor. That is not a very good idea, and there 
is no great necessity for it.
  If the court finds or if a trust believes that it is being defrauded, 
it can request the court to get this information. It can ask for 
discovery. Yes, discovery is expensive, but you want to shift the 
expense to the victim. That is highly unfair.
  This bill shifts tremendous burden to the victim. If he doesn't pick 
up that burden and go in for protective orders, it puts personal 
information that can be used to further victimize him open to anyone 
who wants to get it on the Internet.
  My amendment would say no, to publish aggregate data that will help 
prevent fraud--I am not sure that there is much fraud--but publish 
aggregate data that would help prevent fraud; and if you have a reason, 
then you can go and ask the court for more, instead of the other way 
around.
  The question is: Should the burden be on the tortfeasor or on the 
victim? I side with the victim.
  I urge the adoption of this amendment.
  Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. FARENTHOLD. Madam Chair, I think we are going down a rabbit trail 
here. I agree with Mr. Nadler. This bill is designed to protect 
victims. It is not intended to increase the burdens or the cost on the 
victim. It does require the trusts to publish the name and the basis of 
the claim of folks who claim trust so that they are not double-dipped 
and pay more than one claim for the same person. That is what we are 
trying to do here.
  As we start to get into the additional information, that is further 
down the road. That is not part of the disclosure requirements of the 
FACT Act. But once the litigation proceeds and we have determined that 
somebody has filed a claim and they are in another court, the further 
information requested would normally be part of that proceeding and 
then would fall under the Bankruptcy Code rules.
  The disclosures of the FACT Act requirements from the asbestos trust 
are very limited: name and the nature of

[[Page 224]]

the claim and where they were exposed. That is less information than 
you have to release when you file any sort of tort case in a State 
court. It is basically what we consider to be the bare minimum in order 
to allow defendants to sniff out the possibility of double-dipping and 
fraudulent claims.
  Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from New York (Mr. Nadler).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes 
appeared to have it.
  Mr. NADLER. Madam Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further 
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from New York 
will be postponed.


                    Announcement by the Acting Chair

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, proceedings 
will now resume on those amendments printed in House Report 114-389 on

     in a School.--Paragraph (8) of section 524(g) of title 11 of 
     the United States Code, as added by subsection (a), shall not 
     apply with respect to a claimant whose claim is filed by or 
     on behalf of an individual exposed to asbestos as a child in 
     a school environment.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Minnesota is recognized 
for 5 minutes.
  Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Speaker, this is the final amendment to the bill, 
which will not kill the bill or send it back to committee. If adopted, 
the bill will immediately proceed to final passage as amended.
  Mr. Speaker, asbestos is a known carcinogen. Asbestos wreaks havoc on 
the health and livelihoods of the people exposed to it, killing 
approximately 10,000 Americans each year.
  This deadly poison can cause lung cancer and mesothelioma, an 
aggressive cancer that an estimated 3,000 Americans are diagnosed with 
each year.
  Once detected, mesothelioma victims may only survive 8 to 14 months. 
This was true for my predecessor, the late Congressman Bruce Vento. 
Bruce proudly served Minnesota's Fourth District for more than 20 years 
in this House, and many of you served with him in this Chamber.
  Bruce died from mesothelioma in 2000, only months--only months--after 
he was diagnosed. I lost a friend and a mentor. His family lost a 
husband, a father, a son, and a brother. Since then, I have worked with 
mesothelioma patients and their families to fight this awful disease, 
and to hold those responsible for asbestos exposure accountable.
  I can tell you, this legislation does not support the victims of 
asbestos. Asbestos trusts would be forced--forced--to release the 
private information of patients and their families on a public Web 
site. Listing a patient's name, their address, health and financial 
information, and the last four digits of their Social Security number 
exposes these patients to identity theft.
  H.R. 1927 would also delay any compensation victims could receive 
with new, cumbersome, and unnecessary procedural hurdles, meaning many 
victims will not live long enough to get the justice they deserve or 
know that their families will not be burdened with medical costs.
  This legislation is unacceptable for those seeking justice from 
asbestos exposure. It is especially outrageous

[[Page 231]]

when we know this legislation does not provide basic protection for 
children.
  This amendment would protect children. This amendment will ensure 
that children exposed to asbestos will not have their personal 
information disclosed--children exposed to asbestos from the walls, the 
ceilings, and the floors of their classrooms, or even the possible 
exposure from crayons that they used that were manufactured in China.
  Our children deserve protection. Their parents should have the peace 
of mind that their child's privacy is secure.
  As a mother, I cannot imagine the anguish of worrying about my 
child's health as they suffer from asbestos exposure, and then add the 
burden of worrying that my child's private information was exposed on a 
Web site.
  Without this amendment to the current bill, you will be voting to 
deliver sensitive information about children to criminals who could 
exploit them. Let me be clear: This information will be available to 
identity thieves and to sexual predators.
  Congressman Vento was a dedicated public servant and an asbestos 
victim. I know Bruce would be horrified that this House would allow a 
child's personal information to be exposed in this incredibly 
irresponsible manner, and we should stop it from happening. We can stop 
it from happening.
  Congress has a responsibility to find real solutions to help and 
support victims, especially children of asbestos exposure and their 
families. This bill falls far short of it.
  The least we can do here today is to protect the privacy of innocent 
children who have already suffered enough. I urge my colleagues to pass 
this amendment and to protect the privacy of vulnerable children.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. FARENTHOLD. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the motion to 
recommit.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. FARENTHOLD. Mr. Speaker, I am stunned by how many people 
apparently have not read this 3-page bill. Nowhere in the bill does it 
say we are going to release addresses. Nowhere does it say we are going 
to release medical records. It is simply the name, the basis of the 
claim, and exposure.
  Furthermore, this is designed to protect victims, especially 
children. There needs to be money in these trusts for future claims. We 
want to help the children, not the plaintiffs' attorneys.
  This amendment is wholly unnecessary. If you look at rule 9037 of the 
Bankruptcy Code, by default, unless the court orders otherwise, 
information about a minor is restricted to only releasing, in any case, 
the last 4 digits of the Social Security number, the year of the 
individual's birth, the minor's initials, not the minor's name, and the 
last four digits of the financial account number.
  This motion to recommit is just a waste of time and it is 
unnecessary. It is already covered by the Bankruptcy Code.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is 
ordered on the motion to recommit.
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to recommit.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the noes appeared to have it.


                             Recorded Vote

  Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
  A recorded vote was ordered.

the question of passage.

                Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (during the vote). There are 2 minutes 
remaining.

                              {time}  1247

  Mr. HURT of Virginia changed his vote from ``aye'' to ``no.''
  So the motion to recommit was rejected.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  Stated for:
  Mr. McDERMOTT. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall vote 32 (On Motion to 
Recommit with Instructions related to H.R. 1927), had I been present, I 
would have voted ``yea.''
  (By unanimous consent, Ms. McSally was allowed to speak out of 
order.)


   Moment of Silence Commemorating Fifth Anniversary of Shooting in 
                            Tucson, Arizona

  Ms. McSALLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with my colleagues from 
Arizona and around the country to commemorate the fifth anniversary of 
the shooting that took place on January 8, 2011, in Tucson, Arizona.
  On that sunny, chilly Saturday morning, six people were killed and 13 
were wounded at a Congress on Your Corner event, hosted by 
Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. The Congresswoman was among the 
injured, along with the member of her staff who would succeed her, 
Congressman Ron Barber.
  For many, the pain of that day will always be with us, but Tucson has 
not languished in grief. As we remember the victims, we also remember 
how our community rose up with courage and unity to support those 
grieving and to honor their loved ones.
  Signs of that courage are all around us. The January 8th Memorial 
Foundation is working to build a permanent tribute to the victims as 
well as to our community's response. Just feet below us in this 
building is the Gabriel Zimmerman Meeting Room, a lasting tribute to 
the congressional staffer who died while serving the men and women of 
southern Arizona.
  Today and this weekend people around southern Arizona will be coming 
together to celebrate the lives of our friends and loved ones who were 
taken too soon and to celebrate the difference they made and continue 
to make. There are hikes, bike rides, runs, storytelling, discussions, 
gatherings, and much more.
  While we know some wounds may never fully heal, by carrying on the 
legacy of those who died, we ensure their memories are never forgotten: 
Christina-Taylor Green, Dorothy Morris, Judge John Roll, Phyllis 
Schneck, Dorwan Stoddard, and Gabe Zimmerman.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that the House observe a moment of silence in 
remembrance of those we lost.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, 5-minute voting will 
continue.
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the passage of the bill.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.


                             Recorded Vote
