What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
