CIVIL/LAW: Provides relative to confidentiality of records in cases involving certain protected persons
HB 443 is a procedural amendment that corrects specific references within a law regarding the confidentiality of records for certain protected individuals. The bill does not introduce new policies or change existing rules but instead updates the text to align paragraph and subsection numbering with the current legal structure. This technical adjustment ensures the statute accurately describes how confidentiality protections apply without altering the actual rights or obligations involved.
