PROPOSEDPROPOSED BILLIndianaMEDIUM IMPACT
Consent for Pelvic, Prostate, and Rectal Exams
⚠️
PROPOSED LEGISLATIONThis bill has been introduced but has NOT been signed into law. Legislative proposals may be amended, passed, or fail to advance. This is not current law.
This proposed bill would require explicit consent from patients before a healthcare provider can perform pelvic, prostate, or rectal exams. Previously, the necessity of obtaining such specific consent was not clearly defined in Indiana law. This change affects all healthcare providers who conduct these types of exams as well as their patients. If enacted, it would ensure that patients are fully informed and give explicit permission before any exam is performed.
