AN ACT relating to informed consent for medical examinations.

Summary

The bill mandates that doctors and nurses obtain a signed, plain‑language consent form before performing intimate exams on patients who are under anesthesia or unconscious, unless a medical emergency or a court order applies. It also obligates providers to notify the patient afterward and subjects violations to professional discipline. The goal is to protect patient privacy and ensure they understand who will be involved in the exam.
