SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Law-enforcement officers; exposure to bodily fluids; petition to the general district court by local attorney for the Commonwealth. Allows a local attorney for the Commonwealth in the county or city in which such exposure occurred to file a petition for an order requiring testing and disclosure of test results on behalf of a law-enforcement officer when a law-enforcement officer is directly exposed to the bodily fluid of a person in a manner that may, according to the then-current guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, transmit human immunodeficiency virus or hepatitis B or C viruses and such person refuses to submit to testing. Current law limits who may file a petition to the exposed law-enforcement officer or his employer.
