Synopsis As Introduced Amends the Communicable Disease Prevention Act. Makes changes to the provision concerning children of school age who are reported as having been diagnosed as having AIDS or HIV. Provides that the information contained in the notification to be required of the Department of Public Health with regard to a child enrolled in a public school in kindergarten through fifth grade who is diagnosed as being infected with HIV must not be recorded in the child's permanent record. Provides that if the information is in the child's permanent school record, the information must be purged from the child's record before the child enters the sixth grade. Provides that if the child is enrolled in a public school, the principal shall disclose (instead of disclose the identity of the child) to the superintendent of the school district in which the child resides and specifies that the disclosure shall be that a child has been infected with HIV. Provides that all provisions of the AIDS Confidentiality Act shall apply, including penalties for violation of that Act.
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Communicable Disease Prevention Act. Repeals a Section that provides that whenever a child of school age is reported to the Department of Public Health or a local health department as having been diagnosed as having AIDS or HIV based upon case definitions established by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or as having been shown to have been exposed to HIV or any other identified causative agent of AIDS by testing positive on a reliable test based upon recommendations of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, such department shall give prompt and confidential notice of the identity of the child to the principal of the school in which the child is enrolled; and if the child is enrolled in a public school, the principal shall disclose the identity of the child to the superintendent of the school district in which the child resides.
