Short description: 
MARRIAGE-BLOOD TESTS                                                       

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Illinois Marriage and  Dissolution  of  Marriage  Act.      
   Deletes  provisions  regarding  medical  examination requirements that      
   were repealed in 1989.  Provides that, not more than  30  days  before      
   applying for a marriage license, the parties to a prospective marriage      
   shall  submit  to  tests  for  evidence  of  exposure to transmissible      
   syphilis  and  human  immunodeficiency  virus  (HIV)  and  any   other      
   identified  causative  agent  of  acquired  immunodeficiency  syndrome      
   (AIDS).  Provides  that the laboratory shall provide to each party the      
   results of the tests performed on that party and also the  results  of      
   the  tests  performed on the other party and that the laboratory shall      
   certify to the appropriate county clerk that the tests were  performed      
   on  the  parties and that the results were provided to each party, but      
   the certification to the county clerk  shall  not  indicate  the  test      
   results.  Provides  that  the  circuit  clerk may not issue a marriage      
   license without the certification that the tests were performed unless      
   a court waives the requirements.
