HB 1353: Good samaritan/disease tests

Requiring free infectious disease testing for good samaritans.

Summary

  • Requires a local health department to provide free infectious disease testing to a good Samaritan regardless of his or her insurance coverage, as well as to the source patient.
  • Permits testing of the source patient without his or her consent if the exchange of bodily fluids significantly increases the odds of the good Samaritan being exposed to a deadly infectious disease.
