SUBJECT: CONSIDER RESOLUTION 95- DECLARING THAT THE PROVISIONS
OF TITLE 8 OF PART 3 OF THE PENAL CODE (SECTIONS 7500 ET
SEQ.) REGARDING MEDICAL TESTING OF ARRESTEES AND INMATES
SHALL BE OPERATIVE IN THE CITY OF MOORPARK
Michael Bradbury, Ventura County District Attorney, has recommended
that the City adopt a resolution which will help law enforcement
personnel learn if they have been exposed to the virus which causes
AIDS.
Law enforcement officers sometimes come into contact with the blood
or other bodily fluids of persons they have arrested or who are
inmates in correctional institutions. These officers have a
legitimate concern as to whether they have been exposed to the
human immunodeficiency virus (HIVi
A recent amendment to Title 8 of Part 3 of the Penal Code (sections
7500 et seq.), which provides a procedure for officers to request
the blood of an arrestee or prisoner to be tested for the HIV
virus, states that this code section shall only be operative in a
city, county, or city and county where the governing body has
adopted a resolution affirming that it is operative.
Staff Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution 95-
Attachment: draft resolution.
