HB 2366 -- Sexually Transmitted Disease Testing

Sponsor:  Roorda

This bill requires the prosecuting or circuit attorney to file a
motion for the court-ordered sexually transmitted disease testing
of a defendant charged with certain sexual offenses upon the
request of the victim with notice given to the defense attorney.
A motion can also be filed upon the prosecuting or circuit
attorney's own initiative and for good cause shown with the
proper notice given.  The testing must occur within 48 hours of
when the defendant was charged.  The results of the testing and
any follow-up testing must be released to the victim, the
victim's parent or guardian if he or she is a minor, the
prosecuting or circuit attorney, and the defendant's attorney as
soon as practicable.  All costs of the testing are to be paid by
the Department of Public Safety.
