What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current rules promulgated by the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, health services staff at an overnight recreational or educational camp must make a record in a bound book with preprinted pages each time a medication is administered or a treatment is provided to a camper or staff member. This bill requires DATCP to allow these records to be maintained electronically, if done in a system that documents each change to the health record and that does not allow previous changes to be edited or deleted.
