Relative to testing persons convicted of sexual assault for the HIV virus. Public Health.

AI Summary

This bill requires individuals convicted of certain sexual assault crimes to undergo testing for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) within 14 days of their conviction. The test results would be made available to both the convicted individual and the victim of the crime. The bill also stipulates that individuals who refuse to undergo testing cannot be eligible for parole, work release, or transfer to a non-maximum or medium security facility until the testing is completed. Furthermore, a refusal to be tested can result in the court holding the individual in contempt and potentially revoking or revising their sentence.
