Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law provides that a health care provider who conducts an examination to gather evidence regarding a sex offense may apply to the Department of Justice for an award to cover the costs of the examination. Under current law, the costs of the examination include the examination itself, any procedure during the examination that tests for or prevents a sexually transmitted disease, and medication provided or prescribed during the examination that prevents or treats a sexually transmitted disease. This bill adds the costs of a prophylaxis provided or prescribed during that examination that reduces the risk of or prevents human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) if the person performing the examination believes that exposure to HIV could be a consequence of the sex offense.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
