Bill > S0846

This bill, the "HIV Prevention Justice Act," provides the following key provisions: 1. Allows the donation of human tissue by a person who has human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection under certain medically appropriate circumstances, rather than making it a felony. 2. Expands the scope of unlawful acts by a person infected with a sexually transmissible disease, including HIV, to include engaging in sexual conduct that poses a substantial risk of transmission to an unaware partner, unless the person complies with treatment or behavioral recommendations to limit transmission. 3. Reduces the penalties for certain offenses related to the transmission of sexually transmissible diseases, including HIV, from felonies to misdemeanors. 4. Amends the procedures for testing and disclosing results to victims in cases where a person is charged with or alleged to have committed certain offenses involving the transmission of bodily fluids. The bill aims to modernize the state's laws regarding HIV prevention and transmission, while maintaining appropriate legal protections.
