Bill Summary
AN ACT to repeal section 2307 of the public health law relating to persons knowing themselves to be infected with venereal disease
AI Summary
This bill repeals Section 2307 of the public health law, which previously made it illegal for individuals to knowingly engage in sexual activity while infected with a venereal disease, a term that historically referred to sexually transmitted infections. The repeal means that this specific law, which was part of public health regulations, will no longer be in effect, and no new legal actions can be taken under it, with any ongoing cases also ceasing.
