Plain-language change summary

The amendment to HB 2331 changes the wording regarding how physicians can notify a spouse about a positive test result. Specifically, the requirement for a physician to first attempt to persuade the patient to share the news has been clarified. This adjustment is significant because it emphasizes the importance of patient consent while still allowing for necessary communication in certain circumstances, thus balancing confidentiality with public health safety.
