I was all here to point out how you are wrong and falling for OTT media coverage, but from the actual bill:

“The bill would instead make the intentional transmission of an infectious or communicable disease, as defined, a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for not more than 6 months if certain circumstances apply, including that the defendant knows he or she or a 3rd party is afflicted with the disease, that the defendant acts with the specific intent to transmit or cause an afflicted 3rd party to transmit the disease to another person, that the defendant or the afflicted 3rd party engages in conduct that poses a substantial risk of exposure...”

To put that into perspective, drink driving can in the most extreme (but not resulting in death or injury) can also result in a maximum of 6 months in county jail. Even if that is extremely rare, it's rare to get jail time at all in fact.

Mad, my apologies for even doubting you. Just goes to show how important actually looking shit you read up online is, whether you agree with it or not.
