HB 2107: HIV in criminal justice

Eliminating the disparate treatment of HIV in the criminal justice system.

Summary

  • Amends the statutory definition of Assault in the first degree to remove the specific mention of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
  • Defines destructive or noxious substance, within the Assault 1 statute, to include any blood-borne pathogen, the normal course of which if untreated is death or great bodily injury or harm, except if there is no substantial risk of transmission at time of exposure.
  • Removes the specific exclusion of HIV from the gross misdemeanor, Sexual Intercourse without Notification, so that any sexually transmitted disease can form the basis for criminal liability under the statute.
