What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, if a prisoner throws or expels blood, semen, vomit, saliva,
urine, feces, or other bodily substance at or toward an officer or other person in the
prison or facility, a court may order the prisoner to undergo testing for communicable
diseases if there is probable cause to believe that there was potential for transmitting
a communicable disease to the victim. This bill allows a court to require such testing
for any criminal defendant who throws or expels blood, semen, vomit, saliva, urine,
feces, or other bodily substance at or toward a public safety worker or a prosecutor.
