By striking everything after the enacting clause 6 and inserting: 7 < Section 1. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS. The general 8 assembly finds that establishing a sound criminal 9 justice and public health policy toward individuals 10 living with a contagious or infectious disease is 11 consistent with an evidence-based approach to disease 12 control that focuses on prevention strategies that 13 include notification of current and previously exposed 14 partners, evidence-based behavioral risk-reduction 15 programming, promotion of voluntary disclosure to 16 sexual and needle-sharing partners, and suppression of 17 viral load through engagement in care and treatment 18 programs. 19 Sec. 2. NEW SECTION . 709D.1 Title. 20 This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the 21 “Contagious or Infectious Disease Transmission Act” . 22 Sec. 3. NEW SECTION . 709D.2 Definitions. 23 As used in this chapter, unless the context 24 otherwise requires: 25 1. “Contagious or infectious disease” means 26 hepatitis in any form, meningococcal disease, AIDS or 27 HIV as defined in section 141A.1, or tuberculosis. 28 2. “Exposes” means engaging in conduct that poses 29 a substantial risk of transmission, but does not 30 include conduct posing a low or negligible risk of 31 transmission, consistent with guidance issued by the 32 centers for disease control and prevention of the 33 United States department of health and human services. 34 3. “Practical means to prevent transmission” means 35 substantial compliance with a treatment regimen 36 prescribed by a health care provider that measurably 37 limits the risk of transmission of the contagious 38 or infectious disease, substantial compliance with 39 behavioral recommendations of the infected person’s 40 health care provider or public health officials to 41 measurably limit the risk of transmission of the 42 contagious or infectious disease, or other methods 43 generally accepted by the medical profession to 44 measurably limit the risk of transmission of the 45 contagious or infectious disease, such as use of 46 a medically indicated respiratory mask or use of a 47 prophylactic device. 48 Sec. 4. NEW SECTION . 709D.3 Criminal transmission 49 of a contagious or infectious disease. 50 -1- S3102.1420 (3) 85 pf/nh 1/ 5 #1.
1. A person commits a class “C” felony when the 1 person knows the person is infected with a contagious 2 or infectious disease and exposes an uninfected person 3 to the contagious or infectious disease with the intent 4 that the uninfected person contract the contagious or 5 infectious disease, and the conduct results in the 6 uninfected person becoming infected with the contagious 7 or infectious disease. If a person commits a class “C” 8 felony under this subsection, and the person against 9 whom the class “C” felony is committed is pregnant 10 at the time of the exposure, the person exposing the 11 uninfected person to the contagious or infectious 12 disease commits an additional class “C” felony for each 13 unborn child constituting the pregnancy notwithstanding 14 the actual result of the exposure to each unborn child. 15 2. A person commits a class “D” felony when the 16 person knows the person is infected with a contagious 17 or infectious disease and exposes an uninfected person 18 to the contagious or infectious disease with the intent 19 that the uninfected person contract the contagious or 20 infectious disease, but the conduct does not result 21 in the uninfected person becoming infected with the 22 contagious or infectious disease. If a person commits 23 a class “D” felony under this subsection, and the 24 person against whom the class “D” felony is committed 25 is pregnant at the time of the exposure, the person 26 exposing the uninfected person to the contagious or 27 infectious disease commits an additional class “D” 28 felony for each unborn child constituting the pregnancy 29 notwithstanding the actual result of the exposure to 30 each unborn child. 31 3. A person commits an aggravated misdemeanor 32 when the person knows the person is infected with 33 a contagious or infectious disease and exposes an 34 uninfected person to the contagious or infectious 35 disease acting with a reckless disregard as to whether 36 the uninfected person contracts the contagious or 37 infectious disease, and the conduct results in the 38 uninfected person becoming infected with the contagious 39 or infectious disease. If a person commits an 40 aggravated misdemeanor under this subsection, and the 41 person against whom the aggravated misdemeanor is 42 committed is pregnant at the time of the exposure, the 43 person exposing the uninfected person to the contagious 44 or infectious disease commits an additional aggravated 45 misdemeanor for each unborn child constituting the 46 pregnancy notwithstanding the actual result of the 47 exposure to each unborn child. 48 4. A person commits a serious misdemeanor when the 49 person knows the person is infected with a contagious 50 -2- S3102.1420 (3) 85 pf/nh 2/ 5
or infectious disease and exposes an uninfected person 1 to the contagious or infectious disease acting with a 2 reckless disregard as to whether the uninfected person 3 contracts the contagious or infectious disease, but 4 the conduct does not result in the uninfected person 5 becoming infected with the contagious or infectious 6 disease. If a person commits a serious misdemeanor 7 under this subsection, and the person against whom 8 the serious misdemeanor is committed is pregnant at 9 the time of the exposure, the person exposing the 10 uninfected person to the contagious or infectious 11 disease commits an additional serious misdemeanor 12 for each unborn child constituting the pregnancy 13 notwithstanding the actual result of the exposure to 14 each unborn child. 15 5. The act of becoming pregnant while infected 16 with a contagious or infectious disease, continuing 17 a pregnancy while infected with a contagious or 18 infectious disease, or declining treatment for a 19 contagious or infectious disease during pregnancy shall 20 not constitute a crime under this chapter. 21 6. Evidence that a person knows the person is 22 infected with a contagious or infectious disease and 23 has engaged in conduct that exposes others to the 24 contagious or infectious disease, regardless of the 25 frequency of the conduct, is insufficient on its own 26 to prove the intent to transmit the contagious or 27 infectious disease. 28 7. A person does not act with the intent required 29 pursuant to subsection 1 or 2, or with the reckless 30 disregard required pursuant to subsection 3 or 31 4, if the person takes practical means to prevent 32 transmission, or if the person informs the uninfected 33 person that the person has a contagious or infectious 34 disease and offers to take practical means to 35 prevent transmission but that offer is rejected by 36 the uninfected person subsequently exposed to the 37 infectious or contagious disease. 38 8. It is an affirmative defense to a charge under 39 this section if the person exposed to the contagious or 40 infectious disease knew that the infected person was 41 infected with the contagious or infectious disease at 42 the time of the exposure and consented to exposure with 43 that knowledge. 44 Sec. 5.
