SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Authority to receive laboratory results directly.  Creates an exception to the requirement that laboratories release records of results directly to patients for cases in which a treating physician or clinical psychologist determines that release to the patient would be reasonably likely to endanger the life or physical safety of the patient or another person or cause substantial harm to another person. This bill also creates an appeal process for persons who have been denied the records based on the recommendations of a treating physician or clinical psychologist.
