FL S1704

Defines "sexual conduct" as contact between persons capable of transmitting a sexually transmissible disease, including penile-anal, penile-vulval, and oral-genital contact.

Expands the list of diseases in the unlawful transmission statute to include human papillomavirus and hepatitis, in addition to existing diseases like gonorrhea, chlamydia, genital herpes, and syphilis.

Replaces the term "sexual intercourse" with "sexual conduct" throughout the statute to align with the new definition and broaden the scope of prohibited conduct.

Maintains existing penalties: first-degree misdemeanor for transmission of most sexually transmissible diseases under section 384.24(1), and third-degree felony for HIV transmission under section 384.24(2), with first-degree felony for multiple HIV violations.

Takes effect October 1, 2017.
