§ 2307.94.
(A) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Revised Code, with respect to any asbestos
claim based upon a nonmalignant condition that is not barred as of the effective date
of this section, the period of limitations shall not begin to run until the exposed
person has a cause of action for bodily injury pursuant to section 2305.10 of the Revised Code . An asbestos claim based upon a nonmalignant condition that is filed before the cause
of action for bodily injury pursuant to that section arises is preserved for purposes
of the period of limitations. (B) An asbestos claim that arises out of a nonmalignant condition shall be a distinct
cause of action from an asbestos claim relating to the same exposed person that arises
out of asbestos-related cancer. No damages shall be awarded for fear or risk of cancer in any tort action asserting
only an asbestos claim for a nonmalignant condition. (C) No settlement of an asbestos claim for a nonmalignant condition that is concluded
after the effective date of this section shall require, as a condition of settlement,
the release of any future claim for asbestos-related cancer.
