NJ A1087

First responders who administer opioid antidotes and have contact with a person's bodily fluids may request within 24 hours that the local public health officer obtain infectious disease testing from that person

Public health officers must first seek voluntary consent for HIV, hepatitis, and other bloodborne pathogen testing; if refused within 24 hours, they must file an emergency court application to compel testing

Courts shall order testing upon finding by preponderance of evidence that there is a risk an infectious disease was transmitted during the contact

Test results are confidential and may only be disclosed to the tested person and the requesting first responder; unauthorized disclosure constitutes a fourth-degree crime, and results cannot be used for law enforcement or civil proceedings

Courts may order the person who received the opioid antidote to reimburse the State for testing costs, and healthcare providers performing court-ordered tests receive civil and criminal immunity
