| 48 | evidence is received and is to be considered. After the close of |
| 49 | the evidence, the jury shall be instructed on the limited |

| 124 | subsection. |
| 125 | Section 9. Subsection (1) of section 794.052, Florida |

| 199 | 20.435 Department of Health; trust funds.-The following |

| 203 | shall be administered in accordance with the provisions of s. |
| 204 | 794.056. |

| 206 | made by this act to section 938.085, Florida Statutes, in a |
| 207 | reference thereto, paragraph (b) of subsection (3) of section |
| 208 | 794.055, Florida Statutes, is reenacted to read: |

| 220 | Section 14. Section 960.003, Florida Statutes, is amended |
| 221 | to read: |
| 222 | 960.003 Hepatitis and HIV testing for persons charged with |
| 223 | or alleged by petition for delinquency to have committed certain |
| 224 | offenses; disclosure of results to victims.- |
| 225 | (1) LEGISLATIVE INTENT.-The Legislature finds that a |
| 226 | victim of a criminal offense which involves the transmission of |
| 227 | body fluids, or which involves certain sexual offenses in which |
| 228 | the victim is a minor, disabled adult, or elderly person, is |
| 229 | entitled to know at the earliest possible opportunity whether |
| 230 | the person charged with or alleged by petition for delinquency |
| 231 | to have committed the offense has tested positive for hepatitis |
| 232 | or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The Legislature |
| 233 | finds that to deny victims access to hepatitis and HIV test |
| 234 | results causes unnecessary mental anguish in persons who have |
| 235 | already suffered trauma. The Legislature further finds that |
| 236 | since medical science now recognizes that early diagnosis is a |
| 237 | critical factor in the treatment of hepatitis and HIV infection, |
| 238 | both the victim and the person charged with or alleged by |
| 239 | petition for delinquency to have committed the offense benefit |
| 240 | from prompt disclosure of hepatitis and HIV test results. |
| 241 | (2) TESTING OF PERSON CHARGED WITH OR ALLEGED BY PETITION |
| 242 | FOR DELINQUENCY TO HAVE COMMITTED CERTAIN OFFENSES.- |
| 243 | (a) In any case in which a person has been charged by |
| 244 | information or indictment with or alleged by petition for |
| 245 | delinquency to have committed any offense enumerated in s. |
| 246 | 775.0877(1)(a)-(n), which involves the transmission of body |
| 247 | fluids from one person to another, upon request of the victim or |
| 248 | the victim's legal guardian, or of the parent or legal guardian |
| 249 | of the victim if the victim is a minor, the court shall order |
| 250 | such person to undergo hepatitis and HIV testing within 48 hours |
| 251 | after of the information, indictment, or petition for |
| 252 | delinquency is filed court order. In the event the victim or, if |
| 253 | the victim is a minor, the victim's parent or legal guardian |
| 254 | requests hepatitis and HIV testing after 48 hours have elapsed |
| 255 | from the filing of the indictment, information, or petition for |
| 256 | delinquency, the testing shall be done within 48 hours after the |
| 257 | request. |
| 258 | (b) However, when a victim of any sexual offense |
| 259 | enumerated in s. 775.0877(1)(a)-(n) is under the age of 18 at |
| 260 | the time the offense was committed or when a victim of any |
| 261 | sexual offense enumerated in s. 775.0877(1)(a)-(n) or s. |
| 262 | 825.1025 is a disabled adult or elderly person as defined in s. |
| 263 | 825.1025 regardless of whether the offense involves the |
| 264 | transmission of bodily fluids from one person to another, then |
| 265 | upon the request of the victim or the victim's legal guardian, |
| 266 | or of the parent or legal guardian, the court shall order such |
| 267 | person to undergo hepatitis and HIV testing within 48 hours |
| 268 | after of the information, indictment, or petition for |
| 269 | delinquency is filed court order. In the event the victim or, if |
| 270 | the victim is a minor, the victim's parent or legal guardian |
| 271 | requests hepatitis and HIV testing after 48 hours have elapsed |
| 272 | from the filing of the indictment, information, or petition for |
| 273 | delinquency, the testing shall be done within 48 hours after the |
| 274 | request. The testing shall be performed under the direction of |
| 275 | the Department of Health in accordance with s. 381.004. The |
| 276 | results of a hepatitis and an HIV test performed on a defendant |
| 277 | or juvenile offender pursuant to this subsection shall not be |
| 278 | admissible in any criminal or juvenile proceeding arising out of |
| 279 | the alleged offense. |
| 280 | (c) If medically appropriate, followup HIV testing shall |
| 281 | be provided when testing has been ordered under paragraph (a) or |
| 282 | paragraph (b). The medical propriety of followup HIV testing |
| 283 | shall be based upon a determination by a physician and does not |
| 284 | require an additional court order. Notification to the victim, |
| 285 | or to the victim's parent or legal guardian, and to the |
| 286 | defendant of the results of each followup test shall made be as |
| 287 | soon as practicable in accordance with this section. |
| 288 | (3) DISCLOSURE OF RESULTS.- |
| 289 | (a) The results of the test shall be disclosed no later |
| 290 | than 2 weeks after the court receives such results, under the |
| 291 | direction of the Department of Health, to the person charged |
| 292 | with or alleged by petition for delinquency to have committed or |
| 293 | to the person convicted of or adjudicated delinquent for any |
| 294 | offense enumerated in s. 775.0877(1)(a)-(n), which involves the |
| 295 | transmission of body fluids from one person to another, and, |
| 296 | upon request, to the victim or the victim's legal guardian, or |
| 297 | the parent or legal guardian of the victim if the victim is a |
| 298 | minor, and to public health agencies pursuant to s. 775.0877. If |
| 299 | the alleged offender is a juvenile, the test results shall also |
| 300 | be disclosed to the parent or guardian. When the victim is a |
| 301 | victim as described in paragraph (2)(b), the test results must |
| 302 | also be disclosed no later than 2 weeks after the court receives |
| 303 | such results, to the person charged with or alleged by petition |
| 304 | for delinquency to have committed or to the person convicted of |
| 305 | or adjudicated delinquent for any offense enumerated in s. |
| 306 | 775.0877(1)(a)-(n), or s. 825.1025 regardless of whether the |
| 307 | offense involves the transmission of bodily fluids from one |
| 308 | person to another, and, upon request, to the victim or the |
| 309 | victim's legal guardian, or the parent or legal guardian of the |
| 310 | victim, and to public health agencies pursuant to s. 775.0877. |
| 311 | Otherwise, hepatitis and HIV test results obtained pursuant to |
| 312 | this section are confidential and exempt from the provisions of |
| 313 | s. 119.07(1) and s. 24(a), Art. I of the State Constitution and |
| 314 | shall not be disclosed to any other person except as expressly |
| 315 | authorized by law or court order. |
| 316 | (b) At the time that the results are disclosed to the |
| 317 | victim or the victim's legal guardian, or to the parent or legal |
| 318 | guardian of a victim if the victim is a minor, the same |
| 319 | immediate opportunity for face-to-face counseling which must be |
| 320 | made available under s. 381.004 to those who undergo hepatitis |
| 321 | and HIV testing shall also be afforded to the victim or the |
| 322 | victim's legal guardian, or to the parent or legal guardian of |
| 323 | the victim if the victim is a minor. |
| 324 | (4) POSTCONVICTION TESTING.-If, for any reason, the |
| 325 | testing requested under subsection (2) has not been undertaken, |
| 326 | then upon request of the victim or the victim's legal guardian, |
| 327 | or the parent or legal guardian of the victim if the victim is a |
| 328 | minor, the court shall order the offender to undergo hepatitis |
| 329 | and HIV testing following conviction or delinquency |
| 330 | adjudication. The testing shall be performed under the direction |
| 331 | of the Department of Health, and the results shall be disclosed |
| 332 | in accordance with the provisions of subsection (3). |
| 333 | (5) EXCEPTIONS.-The provisions of Subsections (2) and (4) |
| 334 | do not apply if: |

| 336 | petition for delinquency to have committed or been adjudicated |
| 337 | delinquent for an offense described in subsection (2) has |
| 338 | undergone hepatitis and HIV testing voluntarily or pursuant to |
| 339 | procedures established in s. 381.004(3)(h)6. or s. 951.27, or |
| 340 | any other applicable law or rule providing for hepatitis and HIV |
| 341 | testing of criminal defendants, inmates, or juvenile offenders, |
| 342 | subsequent to his or her arrest, conviction, or delinquency |
| 343 | adjudication for the offense for which he or she was charged or |
| 344 | alleged by petition for delinquency to have committed; and |
| 345 | (b) The results of such hepatitis and HIV testing have |
| 346 | been furnished to the victim or the victim's legal guardian, or |
