(2) The amount claimed or to be claimed by the plaintiff;

(3) The date the plaintiff filed the claim;

(4) The disposition of the claim;

(5) Whether there has been a request to defer, delay, suspend, or toll the claim; and

(6) An attestation from the plaintiff, under penalties of perjury, that the sworn statement is complete and is based on a good faith investigation of all potential claims against asbestos trusts.

(b) The plaintiff shall make available to all parties all trust claims materials for each asbestos trust claim that has been filed by the plaintiff or by anyone on the plaintiff's behalf against an asbestos trust, including any asbestos-related disease.

(c) The plaintiff shall supplement the information and materials provided pursuant to this section within ninety (90) days after the plaintiff:

(1) Files an additional asbestos trust claim;

(2) Supplements an existing asbestos trust claim; or

(3) Receives additional information or materials related to any claim or potential claim against an asbestos trust.

(d) Failure by the plaintiff to make available to all parties all trust claims materials as required by this part shall constitute grounds for the court to extend the trial date in an asbestos action.
