Provide limitations and requirements for civil actions relating to exposure to ethylene oxide

This bill sets new rules for lawsuits claiming injury from exposure to ethylene oxide, a chemical used in sterilizing medical equipment. It limits liability for health care businesses (like those manufacturing or sterilizing medical devices) unless plaintiffs prove by clear and convincing evidence that the business acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct, failed to comply with federal regulations, and that this directly caused the injury. Plaintiffs must also provide detailed specifics about their claims, damages, and the alleged misconduct in court filings. The law applies to all such cases filed before or after its effective date.
