State House committee OKs AIDS legislation
By Elaine Woodford
Kansan staff writer
TOPEKA — The House Public Health and Welfare Committee voted yesterday to favorably recommend an AIDS bill that would require testing for people convicted of crimes
Although a total of eight bills dealing with the deadly virus have been introduced to the Legislature this year, State Rep. Jessie Branson, D-Lawrence, said that this bill probably would be the principal AIDS bill. Cameron that could be
Crimes that could fall within the purview of
the bill are rape, child molestation, aggravated battery, and sodomy.
The bill was heavily amended and State Rep. Frank Buehler, R-Claffin, said he expected the bill to be amended again in conference committee.
The bill was amended to allow physicians to determine whether information about patients with AIDS should be given to health care workers, and if so, when.
"We should bear in mind the risk of losing patient confidentiality," she said.
Also under the proposed measures, physicians would be required to submit the names of AIDS victims or those who have died from the disease to the Secretary of Health and Environment.
The bill states that the information would be completely confidential, except in statistical form, or in a court proceeding involving a minor.
Lawmakers deleted a section of the bill that specified the crimes for which AIDS testing would be mandated. The bill now states that after a conviction, the court must
determine whether the transmission of body fluids occurred during the incident. If transmission is determined to have occurred, an AIDS test will be ordered and the victim will be informed of the results.
Branson disagreed with the deletion of a section of the bill that would have required AIDS testing when a suspect was charged.
"It could be six to 12 months before a suspect is convicted of the crime," she said. "Victims should also be encouraged to be tested for AIDS."
State Rep. Donna Whiteman, D-Hutchinson, suggested that a non-discrimination section be added to the bill.
"I think we should provide for non-discrimination on the basis of AIDS in schools, employment and medical services," she said.
Whiteman's motion was defeated in the committee.
But Branson said that anti-discriminatory language could be added during debate on the House floor or in conference committee.
