2009 SESSION
SB 1107 Exposure to communicable diseases; first responders.
Introduced by: Ralph S. Northam | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)
Exposure to communicable diseases; first responders. Requires that if any salaried or volunteer firefighter, paramedic, or emergency medical technician becomes exposed to another's body fluids in a manner that may transmit HIV or hepatitis, the other person will be deemed to have consented to testing for those viruses. This bill removes the duty of a law-enforcement officer to inform a person of his deemed consent prior to exposure to his bodily fluids. Also, when a first responder is asked to transport someone with a communicable disease, this bill removes the transferring facility's discretion in deciding if the responder must be notified as to the general condition of the patient and any precautions to be taken, and instead always requires such notice. This bill incorporates SB 1034 (Hanger) and SB 1152 (McDougle).
