Wijziging van het Wetboek van Strafvordering inzake de regeling van onderzoek naar de mogelijkheid van overbrenging van een ernstige besmettelijke ziekte bij gelegenheid van een strafbaar feit (verplichte medewerking aan een bloedtest in strafzaken)

This Dutch bill amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to set rules for investigating whether a serious infectious disease may have been transmitted during a criminal offence. It would allow authorities to require a suspect to cooperate with a blood test in such cases, so that potentially exposed victims can learn their infection status and receive medical care. The measure would mainly affect criminal suspects and victims of offences where bodily fluids may have been exchanged, such as assaults. Law enforcement, prosecutors and public health services would also be involved in applying the procedure. The title is based on metadata only; the full text of the bill should be consulted for exact conditions and safeguards.
