Cabinet for Health and Family Services shall begin planning for the
implementation of those sections listed above which require, as a part of initial
licensure or certification, applicants for certain specified professions to
complete an educational course on the transmission, control, treatment, and
prevention of human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome. The planning shall include collecting information from the facilities
and programs which educate and train the licensed professionals affected by
the licensure requirements of those sections listed above and shall also include
developing administrative regulations for the implementation of the licensure
requirements.
The Cabinet for Health and Family Services shall develop, if requested by a
licensing board or certifying entity, instructional material on the human
immunodeficiency virus, including information related to methods of
transmission, education, and infection control. The materials developed under
this section shall be provided to persons licensed under KRS Chapters 317
and 317A. Costs of production and distribution of the instructional materials
shall be wholly assumed from the fees assessed by the licensing boards which
regulate the professionals who are provided with educational materials under
this section. To expeditiously and economically develop, produce, and
distribute the instructional material required under this section, the Cabinet for
Health and Family Services shall consult with the professional associations of
professions to determine whether suitable instructional materials already exist
that may be lawfully reproduced or reprinted.
The Cabinet for Human Resources shall require that, by July 1, 1992, all
employees of health facilities defined in KRS 216B.015 shall have completed
an educational course on the transmission, control, treatment, and prevention
of the human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome with an emphasis on appropriate behavior and attitude change
except for those employees who shall have completed such a course as
required for their professional licensure or upon evidence that the employee
received such a course from another health facility where the employee was
previously employed.
Information on the human immunodeficiency virus infection shall be presented
to any person who receives treatment at any hospital, however named,
skilled-nursing facilities, primary-care centers, rural health clinics, outpatient
clinics, ambulatory-care facilities, ambulatory surgical centers, and
emergency-care centers licensed pursuant to KRS Chapter 216B. The
information shall include but not be limited to methods of transmission and
prevention and appropriate behavior and attitude change.
Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the licensing board or
certifying entity of any profession required to complete the course described in
subsection (1) or (2) of this section shall have the discretion to develop and
approve its own instructional course to be required for the profession under the
jurisdiction of the respective licensing board or certifying entity.
