Permitting the use of expedited partner therapy to treat a sexually transmitted disease.

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill allows healthcare providers to treat a patient's sexual partner for a sexually transmitted disease without examining the partner. This "expedited partner therapy" can be used if the provider believes the partner is unlikely to seek treatment themselves. The bill also provides legal protections for healthcare providers and pharmacists acting in good faith under these new rules.
