HB 162: Enact the My Child-My Chart Act

HB 162, titled the "My Child-My Chart Act," enacts section 3798.05 of the Revised Code to establish new rules for minors' medical records. The bill directly affects minors (typically under 18), healthcare providers, and parents or guardians by changing how medical records for minors are handled. Key provisions require healthcare providers to obtain a minor’s consent before sharing their medical records with parents or guardians, unless the minor is deemed incapable of making decisions. This law shifts control over medical record access from parents to the minor in specific situations, creating a clearer legal framework for minor autonomy in healthcare.
