Assembly BillIntroduced
A 733: Repeals provisions relating to persons knowing themselves to be infected with venereal disease.
What A 733 does, verified May 15, 2026
The bill repeals the provision that allowed individuals to knowingly transmit a venereal disease without reporting it to the authorities. This means that individuals who are infected with a venereal disease are no longer exempt from prosecution for knowingly transmitting the disease to others. The bill takes effect immediately, which means that any prosecution or action initiated or continued under the repealed provision cannot be pursued after the bill is enacted.
