Kentucky: Lawmakers Consider Legislation on Final Day for Bill PassageMarch 30, 2004 Kentucky's Capitol was busy Monday as the General Assembly
worked to determine what bills it would pass on the final day
scheduled for passing legislation this session. Among other
actions, the House passed HB 82, a bill that would require
doctors and health-care agencies to track AIDS patients by name
rather than by an identifying code. It would be a misdemeanor for
someone to disclose the name of a person who has tested positive
for HIV.
