A bill to recover the costs of treating Welsh asbestos patients from businesses or insurers has been passed by assembly members.
It is estimated the new law could raise up to ?1m a year for the Welsh NHS.
The bill's sponsor, Labour AM Mick Antoniw, said it would help people whose lives had been blighted by "this terrible disease".
The insurance industry has raised concerns, questioning whether the move is within the assembly's powers.
