SB-1419 (Becker): Prohibiting Representatives of Minors Request for Medical Record
AVFCA Commentary:
Legislation Details
Bill Name: Health Information (Becker) – Prohibits representatives of minors, age 12 years and older, from inspecting minors’ patient records that relate to sensitive medical services
Bill Number: SB-1419
Bill Author(s): Becker
Legislative Session / Year: 2022
State: California
AVFCA Position: Oppose
Bill Synopsis: While SB 1419 on its face is a bill that A Voice for Choice Advocacy would normally support, as it strengthens the privacy of the sharing of medical records, this bill also prohibits representatives of minors, age 12 years and older, from inspecting minors’ patient records that relate to sensitive medical services the minor has consented to without their parent or guardian’s consent. These may include medical care related to the prevention or treatment of pregnancy, mental health treatment, drug and alcohol treatment, the treatment or prevention of STDs and/or the treatment of infectious diseases. This bill would force California parents to endure the unnecessary burden/cost of litigation in an attempt to subpoena/obtain their child’s medical records.
