Bill Summary

Public Health - Prohibition on Transfer of Human Immunodeficiency Virus - Repeal

AI Summary

This bill repeals the existing prohibition in Maryland law on knowingly transferring or attempting to transfer the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to another individual. The current law makes it a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $2,500 or imprisonment of up to 3 years, or both. The bill repeals this provision, effectively decriminalizing the knowing transfer of HIV in Maryland.
