SCS SB 642 -- Hepatitis B and Sexually Transmitted Disease
Testing

Sponsor:  Russell

This substitute requires Hepatitis B and sexually transmitted
disease (STD) testing of crime victims and prisoners.  New
Sections 191.224 and 191.660, RSMo, are substantially similar to
current Sections 191.226 and 191.659, but relate to Hepatitis B
and STD testing, instead of HIV testing.  Section 191.224 allows
the Department of Health and Senior Services to pay for the cost
of Hepatitis B and STD tests for crime victims, and Section
191.659 requires Hepatitis B and STD testing of sex offenders in
the custody of the Department of Corrections.
