Pub. Rec. and Meetings/Mental Health and Substance Abuse

Summary

The bill would require that all court and administrative hearings involving mental health or substance‑abuse cases be closed to the public unless a judge finds good cause or the respondent consents. It restricts who may receive the records to the parties, their lawyers, guardians, health‑care providers, certain state agencies, or others with a court order. The intent is to protect sensitive personal health information from public disclosure.
