What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, with some specific exceptions, a patient's health care records, as well as the results of a test for the presence of HIV, are released only with the patient's or test subject's consent. One exception is the release of a prisoner's health care records to the prisoner's health care provider, the medical staff in the prison or jail, or a person maintaining prisoner medical records. This bill permits health care disclosures about a prisoner to persons designated to have custodial authority over the prisoner or who are responsible for transferring a prisoner to or from a prison or jail if both of the following apply: 1) the prisoner is found to have a communicable disease or an HIV test conducted on the prisoner was positive for the presence of HIV; and 2) the disclosure is necessary for the health and safety of the prisoner, other prisoners, the person having custodial authority, the person responsible for transferring the prisoner, or an employee of the prison or jail.
