CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 1636 - Under this act, any health care facility that becomes aware that a health care worker or law enforcement officer has been exposed to an infectious disease, as described in the act, in the course of the worker's or officer's duties shall notify the worker or officer as soon as practicable but no later than 48 hours after becoming aware of the exposure. Any first responder who has transported an individual to a health care facility or had contact with an individual during transport may submit a request to the health care facility for information on whether the individual tests positive for certain infectious diseases during the individual's admission or treatment at the facility following transport.
This act is identical to HB 2070 (2026).
