Provide for parental right to access child's health care information

This bill establishes parental rights to access their children's health care information in Montana, requiring medical providers to share records with parents unless specific exceptions apply. The law mandates that hospitals obtain parental consent before performing surgery on minors and requires providers to supply health information to parents within 10 days of a request, unless the parent is under investigation for abuse or neglect or a court has limited their decision-making authority. Key provisions allow parents to consent to medical procedures, including telemedicine visits, with identity verification requirements, while maintaining emergency exceptions for situations involving imminent harm to the child. The bill also clarifies that minors who can legally consent to their own care without parental permission retain exclusive rights to access information related to those specific treatments.
