Recovery of Damages for Medical Negligence Resulting in Death

Summary

The measure changes the state's wrongful‑death statute to let minor children and parents claim mental pain and suffering, but bars adult children and parents of adult children from those claims when the death stems from medical negligence. It also states that civil enforcement actions under sections 400.023, 400.0235, and 429.295 are not considered medical‑malpractice claims, so the restriction does not apply to death claims in those contexts. The bill failed to advance and died in committee.
