Under the Code, when an application for a marriage license is filed, the county clerk must distribute educational materials prepared by the Department of Community Health (DCH) on topics related to venereal disease, HIV transmission, and prenatal care. In addition, an individual applying for a marriage license must be counseled by a physician or a designee of the physician, a physician's assistant, a certified nurse midwife, a certified nurse practitioner, or a local health officer or a designee of a local health officer regarding the transmission and prevention of venereal disease and HIV infection. The individual who counsels the applicant must offer or refer the applicant for tests for venereal disease and HIV. The bill would eliminate the requirements that an applicant be counseled and offered or referred for tests. The bill would require, instead, that an applicant be advised of the transmission and prevention of venereal disease and HIV infection through the distribution of written educational materials by the county clerk. The bill also would require that the written educational materials describe the availability of tests for venereal disease and HIV. The materials would have to be approved or prepared by the DCH.
