SB 601 Disclosure of prehospital patient care reports on victims of crime.
Introduced by: Frederick M. Quayle | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Certain disclosure of prehospital patient care reports. Authorizes each licensed emergency medical services agency to disclose the prehospital patient care report to law-enforcement officials when the patient is the victim of a crime upon a determination that such disclosure is not in violation of the federal Department of Health and Human Services regulations relating to the electronic transmission of data and patient privacy promulgated as required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (42 U.S.C. § 1320d et seq.). The Patient Health Records Privacy law is also amended to add this disclosure to the list of permissible releases of patient records. The new federal regulations, which become effective in April of this year, but will not be enforced until April of next year, will narrowly restrict the release of patient records in many situations. This bill is identical to HB 1283.
