Narrow in scope but broad in impact, the Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (“PACT”) Act, which included the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022, has sparked much “buzz” in the legal, veteran, and civilian communities—and rightfully so. Signed on August 10, 2022, by President Biden, the Act allows claimants two years from the date of enactment to file claims against the United States for exposures to toxins in the water at Camp Lejeune, a United States Marine Corps Training Base in Jacksonville, NC that was established in 1942.
