for sexually transmissible diseases.
    (c) Any person who knowingly or maliciously disseminates
any false information or report concerning the existence of any

    (d) The Department, in consultation with the Department of
Corrections, shall develop and implement written procedures
that establish a process for confidentially notifying and
recommending sexually transmissible disease testing of the

sexually transmissible disease and for notifying and
recommending sexually transmissible disease testing of a
committed person who has had contact with one diagnosed with a
sexually transmissible disease. The process shall be in
accordance with Sections 3, 5, and 8 of this Act.
