A 895 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires parents and guardians be provided access to medical records of minor patients; provides immunity to health care facilities and professionals that provide access to records.

This bill requires healthcare providers in New Jersey to give parents or legal guardians access to medical records of minor patients related to reproductive health services permitted under state law (such as contraception or abortion care). It directly affects minors receiving such care, their parents/guardians, and healthcare facilities/professionals who must provide this access. The law provides legal immunity to healthcare providers who share these records as required, protecting them from liability claims. It specifically applies to reproductive health services legal in New Jersey and includes exceptions for child abuse disclosures or mandatory legal reporting.
