Bill Summary
Unconscious patient pelvic examination informed consent requirement
AI Summary
This bill requires informed consent from patients or their legal representatives before a health professional or student can perform a pelvic examination on an anesthetized or unconscious patient, with some exceptions. These exceptions include if the examination is necessary for medical purposes, if the patient previously consented to a related procedure, or if a court orders the examination. Violations of this requirement would be a gross misdemeanor and could result in disciplinary action by the relevant licensing board. The bill would take effect on August 1, 2019 and apply to crimes committed on or after that date.
