|---|
| 14 | 14 | | (a) If a petition is filed alleging that a [A] child has |
|---|
| 15 | 15 | | [found at the conclusion of an adjudication hearing under Section |
|---|
| 16 | 16 | | 54.03 of this code to have] engaged in delinquent conduct that |
|---|
| 17 | 17 | | included a violation of Sections 21.11(a)(1), 22.011, or 22.021, |
|---|
| 18 | 18 | | Penal Code, and the juvenile court finds probable cause that the |
|---|
| 19 | 19 | | child engaged in the conduct, the child shall undergo a medical |
|---|
| 20 | 20 | | procedure or test at the direction of the juvenile court designed to |
|---|
| 21 | 21 | | show or help show whether the child has a sexually transmitted |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | disease, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), human |
|---|
| 23 | 23 | | immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, antibodies to HIV, or |
|---|
| 24 | 24 | | infection with any other probable causative agent of AIDS. The |
|---|
| 25 | 25 | | court may direct the child to undergo the procedure or test on the |
|---|
| 26 | 26 | | court's own motion or on the request of the victim of the delinquent |

|---|
| 30 | 30 | | court on or after the effective date of this Act. A petition filed |
|---|
| 31 | 31 | | or finding of probable cause by a juvenile court that occurs before |
|---|
| 32 | 32 | | the effective date of this Act is governed by the law in effect when |
|---|
| 33 | 33 | | the petition was filed or the finding of probable cause was made, |
|---|
| 34 | 34 | | and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose. |
|---|
