Senate Bill 14 aims to establish regulations regarding pelvic examinations performed on unconscious patients in hospitals. The bill mandates that hospitals must obtain written informed consent from patients before conducting pelvic exams solely for educational purposes while the patient is under general anesthesia or otherwise unconscious. This requirement is codified in a new statute, 50.373, which emphasizes the necessity of informed consent in these specific circumstances.

Additionally, the bill creates an administrative rule under DHS 124.10, which requires hospitals to maintain written policies and procedures that align with the informed consent requirement for pelvic examinations performed for educational purposes. The legislation is designed to protect patients' rights and ensure ethical practices in medical education, taking effect the day after publication, with specific provisions for the administrative code to be implemented as outlined in existing law.
