flag North Dakota Senate passes bill to reduce HIV transmission penalty from felony to misdemeanor.

flag The North Dakota Senate has passed a bill to reduce the penalty for knowingly transmitting HIV from a felony to a misdemeanor, aligning it with other diseases. flag If signed into law, the penalty would change from a 20-year prison sentence and a $20,000 fine to a fine of up to $1,000. flag The bill's sponsor argued that the original 1980s-era law unfairly targeted LGBTQ individuals and was no longer necessary as no one has been charged under it since its enactment.
