SUMMARY AS ENACTED WITH GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION: (all summaries)

Juvenile medical records. Entitles a secure facility (most often a detention home) to obtain the medical records of a juvenile in its care directly from a health care provider if consent for release is refused or not readily obtainable from the parent or guardian. The records may be obtained only if necessary (i) for the provision of health care to the juvenile, (ii) to protect the health and safety of the juvenile or other residents or staff of the facility or (iii) to maintain the security and safety of the facility. Redisclosure of the records by facility staff is prohibited. This bill is a recommendation of the Youth Commission.
