Summary

Creates the Disease Testing for Public Safety Officials and Volunteers Act. Provides that an emergency services provider or first aid volunteer who is significantly exposed to blood or body fluids during the course of performing his or her duties or during the course of performing emergency assistance or first aid may: (1) request that the person to whom the emergency services provider or first aid volunteer was significantly exposed voluntarily submit to testing for the presence of communicable disease; or (2) petition the circuit court for an order requiring that the person to whom the emergency services provider or first aid volunteer was significantly exposed submit to testing to determine the presence of a communicable disease and that the results of that test be disclosed to the petitioner by the Department of Public Health.
