Synopsis As Introduced
Creates the Infectious Disease Notification Act. Provides that if a victim of an emergency is transported by emergency response employees to a medical facility and the medical facility makes a determination that the victim has an airborne infectious disease or any other communicable disease, then the medical facility shall notify the designated officer of the emergency response employees. Provides that if a victim of an emergency is transported by emergency response employees to a medical facility and the victim dies at or before reaching the medical facility, the medical facility shall notify the designated officer of the emergency response employees of any determination that the victim had an airborne infectious disease or communicable disease. Sets forth procedures for requesting notification from a medical facility. Provides that the Department of Public Health shall adopt rules that it deems necessary for the efficient administration of the Act. Provides that to the extent that the provisions of this Act conflict with any provision of the AIDS Confidentiality Act, the provisions of the AIDS Confidentiality Act shall control.

House Floor Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the introduced bill with the following changes. Sets forth definitions for "medical facility" and "physician". In the provisions concerning notification of designated officer and requests for notification, includes any other communicable disease that in the judgement of a physician could have resulted in the transmission of that disease to the emergency response employee (rather than any other communicable disease).
