THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 5123. (1) A physician or an individual otherwise
authorized by law to provide medical treatment to a pregnant woman
shall take or cause to be taken, at the time of the woman's initial
examination, test specimens of the woman and shall submit the
specimens to a clinical laboratory approved by the department for
the purpose of performing tests approved by the department for
venereal
disease, sexually transmitted
infection, HIV or an
antibody
to HIV, and for hepatitis B. If, when a woman presents
appears at a health care facility to deliver an infant or for care
in the immediate postpartum period having recently delivered an
infant outside a health care facility, no record of results from
the
tests required by under this subsection is readily available to
the physician or individual otherwise authorized to provide care in
such a setting, then the physician or individual otherwise
authorized to provide care shall take or cause to be taken
specimens of the woman and shall submit the specimens to a clinical
laboratory approved by the department for the purpose of performing
department
approved tests for venereal disease, for sexually
transmitted
infection, HIV or an antibody to HIV,
and for hepatitis
B. This subsection does not apply if, in the professional opinion
of the physician or other person, the tests are medically
inadvisable or the woman does not consent to be tested.
(2) The physician or other individual described in subsection
(1) shall make and retain a record showing the date the tests
required under subsection (1) were ordered and the results of the
tests. If the tests were not ordered by the physician or other
person, the record shall contain an explanation of why the tests
were not ordered.
(3) The test results and the records required under subsection
(2) are not public records, but shall be available to a local
health department and to a physician who provides medical treatment
to the woman or her offspring.
Enacting section 1. This amendatory act takes effect 90 days
after the date it is enacted into law.
