This bill establishes new requirements for pelvic examinations conducted on patients who are anesthetized or unconscious in hospitals or medical clinics. Specifically, it prohibits health care providers from performing such examinations without prior written consent, except in certain circumstances: if an authorized individual consents, if the examination is necessary for emergency diagnostic or treatment purposes, or if a court orders the examination for evidence collection. Additionally, the bill stipulates that health care providers who violate this provision may face disciplinary action under the Uniform Credentialing Act.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that if a pelvic examination is performed on an unconscious or anesthetized patient, the patient must be notified in writing about the examination prior to their discharge from the hospital or medical clinic. This legislation aims to enhance patient rights and ensure informed consent in sensitive medical procedures.
