Establishes provisions relating to actions brought for medical monitoring

Summary

The bill changes Missouri law so defendants cannot be forced to pay for a plaintiff’s future medical surveillance unless the plaintiff proves they already have a diagnosable physical disease caused by the defendant’s wrongdoing, and that the monitoring is beyond routine care. It also clarifies that merely having a toxic substance in the bloodstream does not constitute a compensable disease. This narrows the scope of medical‑monitoring lawsuits.
