SUMMARY:

Testing for blood-borne pathogens. Authorizes persons who are victims of or witnesses to a crime or who assist a public safety employee and who are involved in an exposure prone incident as a result of the specific crime or specific circumstances involved in the assistance to petition the court directly for a hearing to determine whether an exposure prone incident has occurred and to order testing and disclosure of the test results. Several incidents involving victims or witnesses to crimes or individuals assisting law enforcement officers have occurred in recent months in which a possible exposure prone incident may have occurred. Such persons currently have no mechanism to seek testing. Incorporated into SB 1050, Howell.
