An attempt to have the courts order implementation of Proposition 102 despite its overwhelming rejection by California voters in November has ended, the American Civil Liberties Union has announced.

Proposition 102 would have forced the California Department of Health Services to give the state the names of all people infected with the virus believed to cause AIDS.

The suit was dropped in response to legal attacks by the California Conference of Local Health Officers, represented by the ACLU of Northern and Southern California, the Department of Health Services and the California Medical Association.

The lawsuit, McNamee v. Kizer, was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court Oct. 26.

On Dec. 30, the Health Department filed a motion asking the court to dismiss the action as legally insufficient. The ACLU filed a brief backing the Health Department, on behalf of the statewide organization of local health officers. The California Medical Association also sought dismissal of the suit."

In response, the plaintiffs, Lawrence McNamee, Larimore Cummins and California Physicians for a Logical AIDS Response, who drafted the ballot argument favoring Proposition 102, decided to drop the suit.

"We are delighted that the plaintiffs have decided not to pursue their misguided efforts any further," said Jon W. Davidson, ACLU-SC staff attorney. "As we argued in our brief, numerous studies have demonstrated that mandatory reporting causes dramatic decreases in the number of people willing to be tested for the virus, thereby interfering with necessary medical supervision, scientific research, and efforts to counsel those who are infected about how to change their behavior so as not to put others at risk.

"In addition," Davidson said, "designating HIV infection as a reportable disease would be inconsistent with California's laws mandating that AIDS test results be kept strictly confidential, as well as our state's financing of anonymous test sites."

The outcome is "fabulous," said Matthew Coles, ACLU-NC staff attorney. "We were sure that the court would agree with the many public health experts--including the California Department of Health Services, the California Conference of Local Health Officers, the CMA, the U.S. surgeon general, the Centers for Disease Control and the National Institute of Health--that mandatory reporting of HIV infection is bad public health policy," he said. "But it is nice that the plaintiffs have simply decided to give up the fight." ▼
