What it does

The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly. This bill requires a health care provider or facility that maintains or transmits electronic protected health information (EPHI) to disclose to the legal guardian of a minor the minor’s EPHI, with some exceptions. The exceptions include that the EPHI relates to health care for which the minor is legally authorized to consent without the consent of a legal guardian; or if disclosure of the EPHI to a legal guardian is otherwise prohibited by state or federal law.
