Overview
This bill requires court-ordered medical testing for certain individuals, specifically first responders (law enforcement, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel), when they may have been exposed to bloodborne pathogens like HIV or hepatitis through contact with bodily fluids. If a person declines testing after being notified by a public health officer, a court can order testing with a finding of risk. The results are confidential and cannot be used in legal proceedings, and those performing the tests are immune from liability.
