Criminal procedure: Sexually transmitted disease testing.

Summary

AB 229 lets a crime victim (or a parent/guardian of a minor victim) ask a court for a search warrant to test a defendant for any sexually transmitted disease. The bill outlines how the tests are performed, confirmed, and disclosed, and protects both the victim and the accused from misuse of the results. It failed to pass and did not become law.
