RETESTING OF PRISONERS FOR HIV
House Bill 6100
Sponsor: Rep. LaMar Lemons, III
Committee: Criminal Justice
Complete to 11-8-02
A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 6100 AS INTRODUCED 5-21-02
Currently, Section 67 of the Corrections Code (MCL 791.267) specifies that incoming state correctional prisoners must be tested for HIV unless they have been tested under court order within three months prior to incarceration. House Bill 6100 would amend the act to require that, in addition, each prisoner would have to be retested for HIV or an antibody to HIV immediately after completing six months of his or her sentence.
