REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH PRIVACY

Deleted the requirement for electronic health networks to automatically segregate or hide abortion-related data from out-of-state providers.

Changed the data sharing rules to allow providers to manually prevent the sharing of private health care codes rather than forcing automatic segregation.

Updated the list of exceptions for sharing data out-of-state to use standard HIPAA terms like 'payment' and 'health care operations' instead of specific state categories.

Removed the specific prohibition against notifying out-of-state networks that data has been segregated.

Added a new definition for 'coded private health care information' to describe specific medical codes related to abortion and gender dysphoria that can be filtered.

Added a new definition for 'Covered entity' to align the bill's language with federal HIPAA standards.

Expanded the list of individuals who can consent to data sharing to include health care surrogates and powers of attorney, not just patients and parents.

Corrected formatting and spacing in the definitions section to match standard legislative style.
