❌ HB162
Enact the My Child-My Chart Act
Summary
The My Child-My Chart Act requires health care providers to ensure that a minor's parent or guardian has access to the minor's health records in an electronic health records system, while also informing parents about circumstances under which minors can receive health care without consent. It mandates that parents be notified annually about these circumstances and allows minors to provide ongoing written consent for parental access to their medical records.
Rationale
The bill emphasizes parental access to minors' health records, which aligns with the Libertarian Party's support for parental rights but may conflict with individual privacy rights as advocated by both the LP and LPO. The mixed elements of parental rights and privacy lead to a moderate alignment score.
Risks and Concerns
- Potential infringement on minors' privacy rights
- Increased government involvement in health care decisions
