Parental Access to Children's Medical Records Amendments

Summary

The bill gives parents the right to view and obtain their child’s medical records unless the parent’s rights are terminated, the child is emancipated or married, a court order says otherwise, or the record involves sexual‑assault counseling. Health‑care facilities and electronic‑record vendors must allow this access and provide records free of charge within five business days. The attorney general can enforce compliance with daily civil fines for violations.
