What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill allows a health care provider to disclose to an out-of-home care

provider and child welfare agency a portion of the mental health treatment record

of a child who is placed in out-of-home care that the health care provider reasonably

believes is necessary for the proper care of the child. Under current law, a mental

health treatment record is confidential and may be released only upon informed

written consent of the subject of the treatment record and in other limited

circumstances explicitly described in the law.
