AI Summary
- Eliminates any standalone cause of action for medical monitoring under Missouri law and declares that increased risk of disease—even with physiological changes—is not compensable through damages or any other relief
- Prohibits courts from ordering a defendant to pay damages or provide legal, injunctive, or equitable relief for future medical surveillance, screening tests, or monitoring procedures unless the plaintiff meets three specific requirements
- Requires plaintiffs seeking medical monitoring relief to prove that the requested surveillance is directly related to and necessitated by a presently existing, diagnosable physical disease or injury
- Requires that the requested future monitoring be distinct from monitoring that would be recommended in the absence of the plaintiff's preexisting disease or injury and related exposure
- Specifies that the mere presence of a toxic substance in the bloodstream does not qualify as a presently existing and diagnosable physical disease or injury for purposes of obtaining medical monitoring relief
