1) I support this legislation [by SLibich, RDH on February 7, 2007]
Testing prisoners before their release would allow the prisoner and the State to know if they have these dangerous diseases. We wouldn't release them with a loaded gun in their hand, why allow them to walk away without knowing if they have a communicable disease. THEY need to know they have it or not; protect the public and the "rehabilitated" prisoner.
